Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing the existing dbxcli commands and Dropbox API capabilities, then clarify whether the goal is continuous synchronization, which filesystem directions are required, and what dependency or container constraints define done.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I would like to run Dropbox client on my home fileserver in a container. I can use the current official client, but it comes with a number of dependencies (Python, Qt, ...etc) and I'd prefer to use a more lightweight version.
