I'm creating a system for myself that uses cloud storage and symbolic links to sync my Minecraft worlds between computers. Although my primary service is Google Drive, I have had to utilize Dropbox to store files on the one Linux computer I play on. As such, I've set up an IFTTT recipe that syncs Dropbox saves with Google Drive, but due to Drive not having an New File In Drive trigger, I cannot vice versa this with IFTTT. What are some other ways I could sync just the one folder in Dropbox with Google Drive?

No third party can upload anything to your Public folder of Dropbox by default.
However, you can create a JotForm's Dropbox upload form to send files there. You will then need to embed the form into a webpage & host the webpage somewhere. If you don't have web hosting, you can put it into your Public folder of Dropbox since the page is static. The Dropbox link is hard to remember so you can create a "pretty" Bit.ly link, such as bit.ly/Files4DragonSlay3r, and give it out to people.
There are 2 limits in the free version: 100MB of monthly transfer and 100 submissions. There's another universal limit: 50MB per file uploaded.
In case you aren't proficient with HTML, here's template code for the webpage to embed the upload form:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My upload form</title>
</head>
<body>
REPLACE THIS WITH THE EMBED CODE FROM JOTFORM
</body>
</html>
Open Notepad (or other simple text editor but not Word, WordPerfect, WordPad, Pages, etc), paste the code into it, then click Save As and name the file dropbox-upload.html or whatever you like as long as it ends in .html. Then move the file into Public.
The Upload button is right next to the Create button. It looks like a hard disk drive with an up arrow coming out of it.
