Hello, I am running OS 5.1, and installed Dropbox through the AppCenter. While this did install Dropbox software (nautilus-dropbox), it is missing a few features. What is the proper/approved way to install Dropbox? I would like to have an icon in the notification Panel, as well as the ability to selectively sync specific folders. Finally, what is the best way to redirect the Desktop / Documents / Pictures folders to a location within Dropbox? Is it as simple as using softlinks, or is there a different/preferred method since these are considered special folders? Thank you -Robert
Hello, I was able to address 2 of the 3 issues. 1) I used the dropboxd app that I was able to install through the store. Using that command, I first excluded all folders from sync, and then selectively included just the folders I wanted to sync. 2) I used soft links to redirect the Documents, Pictures, and Desktop folders from /home/$USER to /home/$USER/Dropbox/..... 3) I installed a Desktop folder app from the store in order to get icons to display on the Desktop Unfortunately, I was not able to figure out how to get a Dropbox notification icon to appear. However, dropboxd does pop up notification windows when a sync completes, which is better than nothing I suppose. Otherwise, you can use the command line to query sync status from dropboxd. Hope this helps! -Robert
