Re: Dropbox

 

Isn't there a .deb package for it on the dropbox homepage? Only for Gutsy to Karmic, but I guess the Karmic version should work on Lucid as well.

If I understood right, what dropbox does is mount the online folder as a local synchronized folder, so any file manager should work. (Personally, I think this is just reinventing the wheel, there already was ftp)

I think Dropbox should implement an alternative interface as an FTP server; this way you wouldn't need to install anything on most OS and distros.

Nope, but I'll probably give it a try later (possibly tomorrow) because I'm fairly interested as well.

Has anyone tried (and succeeded) to get Dropbox working on Lubuntu? There are "text-based" instructions,
