Mapping Dropbox to network drive in Windows 7
I want to map Dropbox to a network drive and link to my Dropbox in the cloud versus the Dropbox on my computer. I want to conserve my hard drive space and access, open, and save files to my Dropbox through my network drive. I can do this with other cloud-based storage systems. Can I do this with Dropbox?
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).

Are there any plans to use Dropbox as a mapped drive?
Dropbox don't publish their product roadmap, but as they're pretty clear it isn't supported I doubt it.
Use NetDrive: www.netdrive.net
Onedrive webdav which is really nice.
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.
Guys it all works even you can change sharing title. All you do just right click and in properties share as you need and also add permissions and remove password protected sharing in networking
You should be aware that Dropbox is working on a "Project Infinite" feature: https://blogs.dropbox.com/business/2016/04/announcing-project-infinite/
No ETA, but it'll allow you to display the entire contents of your Dropbox on your Dropbox folder without taking up any storage on the local disk until you need it.
I've successfully had an IT department be able to gain access to files on a network drive that was also managed in Dropbox to add and write data to a spreadsheet. How was that accomplished if Dropbox cannot be mapped to a network drive?
