I've found a workaround. Create a new folder within the mount point of your ext4 drive. Then, simply choose that folder as the target in the Dropbox app. Here's an example:

/media/mynewdrive/DropboxContainer
To confirm, your Dropbox sync folder would look like this:
/media/mynewdrive/DropboxContainer/Dropbox
In my case, it used to complain about the ext4 thing, but this workaround seems to have done the job. Please let me know if it works for you.
