Absolutely. There is nothing wrong, this is how Boxifier works in order not to waste space in the local Dropbox folder by duplicating the content. The idea behind Boxifier is syncing files and folders to Dropbox without taking space in the local Dropbox folder on the computer where Boxifier is running, thus saving space. However, if you go to Dropbox.com and check the "Boxifier" folder, you should see that there is no shortcut there, but there are the files and folders from the folders that Boxifier is syncing. For more details on this, we invite you to read this article.
The basic edition of Boxifier is free. It supports syncing one local folder outside of Dropbox. If you need to sync more folders or folders from USB/external/removable drives or network drives you can upgrade to a premium edition.
In the basic edition of Boxifier all premium features are available for you to try for 30 minutes. This way you can see if Boxifier really works before deciding to upgrade. We believe you should purchase a license you are completely satisfied with the product. That's how software should work.
