Well, what the title says : is there any way to integrate Dropbox in the messaging menu like ubuntu one ?

Edit: Below is an image showing where Ubuntu One is on the messaging menu That is where I ask if I can put dropbox, NOT on the panel itself.

message menu

It is not possible (as far as I know) to move DP from its standard place in the traybar to the message menu. You can only add a shortcut in Message Indicator menu:

Open a terminal and type:

sudo gedit /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/dropbox

In the editor, type following text and save:

/usr/bin/dropbox

  • thanks, but it didn't work - have you done it yourself on your system?

  • I did not add DP in my Message menu, but I did the same for other applications. Can you provide additional information on what did not work while trying my solution?

  • Eh..nothing happened at all after a restart - dropbox was just on its normal place and nothing was in the messaging menu

    Even though the second part of the answer didn't work for me, i tick this one as an answer for the first sentence - which pretty much answers what i asked for. Sorry for the delay

    The indicator is ok - what i asked for is messaging menu integration like ubuntu one's. (==if it is possible to appear in the same place ubuntu one, empathy, evolution etc are)

If you'd previously installed Dropbox, it's likely that the Dropbox daemon hasn't updated, which is part of why you don't see the indicator. To force the update, do this in a terminal window within GNOME:

dropbox stop
rm -r ~/.dropbox.dist
dropbox start -i

You should then get a pop-up window prompting you about updating Dropbox.

  • the messaging menu is an indicator, true. but i don't think that you can put any indicator you want inside it, can you? Have you seen how ubuntu one works?
