Sync Dropbox across Multiple Drives

This topic has been posted before....but the function is still badly needed.

I have a business account with 4.5 TB of data.  I need to have that data available offline for multiple reasons.  

Some of that data for simply long term storage.  Other portions are for daily use in our business.

We desperately need a way to span our personal and team data across more than 1 drive.  Long term data can be stored on a standard mechanical drive, while daily access folders can be stored on SSD drives for better performance and drive space management.

These has been a need for well over 10 years.

    Adding this feature would be a huge help to me. I've recently replaced my desktop computer with a new one that has three drives, one system drive integrated directly with the processor and two data drives. But Dropbox only allows me to sync one of the two data drives. It won't take long for me to reach the point where I have nearly filled the first data drive. I need to be able to have a Dropbox folder on the second to assure I will still have near foolproof protection against data loss.

    Can you make this happen?
