Drop box in Debian

      If you find some difficulties with file sharing, Dropbox is one of the best tools you can use. If you haven't tried yet, visit Drop box web site. click here

 Good news : Drop box can be used under Linux platform.

 Bad news    : It only supports for a few distros. You need to compile the                                 source code for the other distros. linux version

Here are the listed distros.

I downloaded the Debian version and installed using the normal dpkg command.

        dpkg -i nautilus-dropbox_0.7.0_i386.deb 


This is just an installer, not the actual dropbox daemon. To install dropbox daemon you need to use following command.

       dropbox start -i

That's it. Once it finishes the installation, it will load a wizard to login, basic settings and file selection. enjoy !!!
