No, it can't. The normal Dropbox client does not work the same as the mobile clients, and there's no way to map a virtual drive or folder to your Dropbox account.
If you're running Windows 8 or 10, you can install the Dropbox app from the Microsoft Store, which is a mobile client. Just know that you will not be able to access any files while offline (unless they are marked as a favorite/available offline).

- Ihave a large dropbox and a small laptop ssd. This is what i do:
If you have an old pc at home, install dropbox on it then share the dropbox folder on the networkusing windows file sharing. From your laptop make a network drive mapping to this folder.
On the laptop you dont even need dropbox installed for home use. If you need access to dropbox files while away from home use selective sync on the laptop to grab the required files. If you do the sync while you are on your home lan dropbox will use the lan sync function and sync directly between the server and your laptop.
Not sure if it meets your needs - but it might be useful for someone reading this thread. I use mac now but it worked with pcs also yes there is, expandrive will do what you ask
