Possibly, but would I feel really dirty about doing it? Certainly yes.

The nice thing about the sync process is that it's event-driven, you add a 
file in one of the synched locations, sync starts shortly after that. No 
polling for the local filesystem.

Also, the other way round isn't addressed by it.

If you (or anyone else) want to give it a try, be my guest... :)
