Dropbox: is it possible to configure auto-synchronization of some folders?

Is there 'dropbox daemon' or something like this in Sailfish OS? If it exists, is it possible to configure it for auto-synchronization of some particular folder or file with dropbox?
Asking, because just thought if OS can store backup on dropbox - probably it already has all the infrastructure inside and it just needs to be configured properly.
@ElderOrb thats a great idea, it used to work in Box where you can set autoupload function, and folder. It will go to your images first, but you can then point it at another folder. For some reason Dropbox account synchronizes from PC/MAC to dropbox, and from dropbox to your Sailfish phone, however what users really need is the other way around. Synch from the Sailfish phone (files not images) to dropbox, and then from dropbox to your PC/MAC precisely like you say for backup reasons, or if you want to have an active synched cloud keychain that i want to use for example.
