In fact it was designed and built for it - as it says here, "Dropsync provides the essential feature, two-way sync, which should be in the official Dropbox for Android since the beginning. For whatever reason it wasn't and still isn't."

Hey JungleT, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community.
I'm afraid there's no direct way to achieve what you had in mind, since the Dropbox mobile app is mostly meant for viewing or sharing your files and it's not actually syncing them locally on your mobile device.
Currently all files (including offline ones) are available only through the Dropbox application or after being exported to your device or a 3rd party app.
You can have a look at this discussion for more information if you like too.
I hope this helps!
