Can I save an external hard drive to Dropbox without putting them on in my Dropbox folder?

I want to store the contents of an external hard drive to my dropbox, without having to move it's contents over to my internal hard drive on a MacBook Pro. Can I do that?

Are you on a personal account or a Dropbox Business team?

    Is it possible that your Dropbox Business team admin has disabled the option for Dropbox Backup for the team members?
