Sure. That works.
My other computers are doing LAN sync, and it works great.
....But....
I've got a paid 50GB dropbox account (BIG ACCOUNT) on SSD space (EXPENSIVE DISK).
And I have only 41GB left on my SSD.
Don't ask me to replace the SSD -- I like my 9 second MacOS X bootup & I like ability to load a 1GB document file in only 5-10 seconds (depending on app) and Parallels booting up XP in only 6-7 seconds (sometimes as little as 4-5sec, from Suspend). You get addicted to 270MB/sec sequential read throughput, very quickly. (And it really shows in fast Sleep/Wake in Parallels too.) Yes, an SSD upgrade will be done sometime later this year, but I already solved (1) and (2), I just need to solve (3). I've heard of people using the NTFS3G driver for accessing a Dropbox folder on a Boot Camp partition, while running in MacOS, so it's at least indirectly confirmed it works. But I think approach (A) sounds better, which I've never heard of anybody trying.
