Upload/download from linux app

Hello, I understand that SmartSync is not available for Linux, but I decided to pay a personal license to backup some of my files (from external HDs, etc) to Dropbox via the website, on a directory excluded from syncing on my devices via selective sync.

I quickly discovered that loading whole directories via browser is very slow, it's saying 1-2h left (to 1 day) for a directory of 2.3Gb. I get that integrating with Nautilus for the smart sync is hard and that there are not so many users but...would it be possible to add to the linux client the possibility of uploading/downloading directories to bypass the website and offer a 'manual' smart sync option?

 

I am a little bit out of options not to make sense of the 2Tb of space I've just bought...
