Hi MissRay,
According to the Dropbox: https://help.dropbox.com/organize/how-to-use-dropbox-backup, you could backup external hard drive to Dropbox automatically once you agree to back it up when connect the external hard drive.
And it will show a pop up window, choose Back up button, and it will back the entire external hard drive to Dropbox.
