Sure. It adds a file system virtualization layer under the Dropbox desktop client so that folders outside of Dropbox are seen by the Dropbox client as part of the Dropbox folder.

Boxifier monitors those folders for changes, aggregates the changes and then passes them to the Dropbox client through the virtualization layer.
