I have installed marlin the elementary OS file manager in my system but I don't see any Dropbox support for it by default, is it available? How can I install it?

This answer includes instructions on how to add a third-party PPA - proceed with caution.

Yes, after you installed marlin with

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marlin-devs/marlin-daily; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install marlin

you can then install the Dropbox plugin for marlin and since you are at it add the Ubuntu One service plugin

sudo apt-get install marlin-plugin-dropbox marlin-plugin-ubuntuone

After installing the plugin and the official Dropbox package for Ubuntu you can activate the plugin in marlin preferences

No problem, just needed to do this and remembered that you had asked it, saw you didn't update it so i just went and did it. :) – jrg♦ Nov 22 '11 at 19:23
