Re: Dropbox

 

Ok, I get the idea. Well, it wasn't just like ftp after all.
Anyway, it would be nice to make a .deb that just ran the dropboxd independently of the file manager you use (I don't know if that would be possible, I haven't used dropbox yet).

Is pcmanfm scriptable? In that case, maybe somebody could port the nautilus-dropbox script to pcmanfm.

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.

    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

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.
