That's why when I was testing the feature for some folders, there were conflicts with other services like Google's Backup and Sync and iCloud Drive.
I wouldn't want to have my local folders all moved under the DropBox folder. I would prefer to be able to select specific folders and those would be simply backed up on Dropbox cloud. I would also like to be able to use the Backup feature alongside with my other backup services, so I can have my files backed-up on more than 1 locations.
So, the option to add more folders for the backup as it's currently implemented it's not what I want.
