That is already possible with some small workaround, as Gilberto mentioned, i.e., any storage device
with a FS Linux can use can be made a datastore. Then you can trigger syncs once you plugged it.
But, there's some work undergoing that will make this more integrated, see:

Since removable disks are seen by Linux as a regular HDD, everything you
need is already there.
Just mount the disk into a local directory and create the datastore.
