Dropbox has no such functionality. There are some third-party utilities that can accomplish this, but they are not supported. Try a Google search instead.

Ironically this is now one of the top result of that very Google search. :/
- bertalanimre8 years agoNew member | Level 2Thanks Rich. I've already done that. Actually looking for this solution for the last 3 hours, but I was hoping I'm just skipping it always. Seems I'm not :( In this case, DropBox is not good for me.

Same issue here, can't believe DB doesn't have this function. We have 12TB in DB and various VMs all over the place, scripts that back up the Linux folders and send them to backup folders in DB all by shell scripts, also scripts that copy files in DB to the servers when needed. But actually mounting a share which is similar to sshfs to the DB folder seems unlikely to happen.
We do know its possible but can't find out how.
1. Get a Cloud PlexMediaServer from Plex, this server allows DB shares so we know its possible so why are they not letting this go main stream. Very strange.
Anyone shed light do ley us know.

Any solution provided by a third-party (such as the one from Plex) would be accomplished using the Dropbox API. It's not a feature that Dropbox is holding back. Third-parties create it themselves using the commands available in the API.
