Yes, but the Dropbox .deb requires nautilus, which is only installed with
vanilla Ubuntu. Technically Dropbox is not the same as mounting a remote
file system, you have a real local copy even if you have no web access.

In 2008, the world created 31 billion tonnes of CO2 and the level of CO2 in
the atmosphere rose by 2 ppm, or 16 billion tonnes. Much of the remaining 14
billion tonnes went into making the oceans more acidic. We are changing our
environment too quickly and we are now 12% over the safe threshold of 350
ppm.
