Programatically mounting a folder with path

Is it possible to mount a shared folder to a path other than the root folder?

Example:
User A creates a shared folder with path /MyFolder/MySharedFolder
User A shares MySharedFolder with User B
User B mounts MySharedFolder

Currently, the folder would be mounted to /MySharedFolder, is there a way to mount to /MyFolder/MySharedFolder without sharing MyFolder as well?

Thanks

    This isn't currently possible with a single call using the Dropbox API, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request!

    As a workaround, you'll need to mount the folder, then move it once mounted.
