MAvic,
I'm sorry I didn't ask you to describe how you've organized your storage. IF you had listed what you said in this post, I would've immediately said Dropbox isn't a workable solution. At least not with your current workflow.
It's still feasible to use Dropbox but you'd have to modify your work flow to do it. Maybe keep it as you've described except for one change. Use Dropbox for current projects only and leave everything else in your existing folder. Here's a simple configuration:
Create a folder within your Dropbox folder and call it Current Projects. Within that folder, have a subfolder for a given client's project. When you're done with the project, move it to your primary projects folder and sort it accordingly.
That way, Dropbox is autosyncing just the current projects. This backs them up in more than one location, too.
