  1. Download the closed source Dropbox Linux client from http://www.getdropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86 (x86_64 for 64 bit)
  2. Extract the contents and you should get a .dropbox-dist folder out of the archive. Move the folder to$HOME
  3. Run~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd.

I'm at mobile, when I get home I can explain better if you need. ;-) – desgua May 6 '11 at 12:48
This works well (I use it on a kde desktop) but it might not qualify as "integrating" with another file manager. – Roger Light May 6 '11 at 12:58
Could you explain what is needed to qualify this as integrating? – desgua May 6 '11 at 13:11
An autosyncing folder is enough. thanks, the article is pretty clear on the steps to take. – Detnuomnu May 6 '11 at 21:57
Welcome. If others functions are missing tell me then I can look toward it ;-) – desgua May 6 '11 at 23:20
