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).

We develop ExpanDrive for both Mac and Windows for this very purpose - it transforms your dropbox connection into a Network drive. The file data is all accessed on-demand and isn't sync'd to your machine. We were the first ones to develop this technology for dropbox and have been refining it for years. A great way to access multiple dropbox accounts as well as freeing up hard drive space.
