I'll just note that you can mount Dropbox as a file system with rclone ( https://rclone.org/ ) using the rclone mount subcommand.

rclone mount also works with the 20 or so cloud providers supported by rclone (s3, gcs, swift, box, dropbox, b2, etc).

rclone runs on Linux, Windows, macOS and quite a few other architectures! It is written in Go.
