Support for different File Systems (NTFS, Ext4, APFS, etc.)

I recently switched from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu based distro) and wanted to sync Dropbox to the same Folder on both OS.

Sadly the Linux version does not support NTFS File Systems. I would like to suggest compatibility with multiple File Systems, at least the common ones. NTFS, Ext4 and APFS come to mind.
