just install dropbox as described for gnome, then find the dropboxd executable somewhere in your filesystem in a folder called .dropbox-dist (note the dot at the beginning of the name) once you have found dropboxd just put a link to the file in your desktop's autostart folder. ~/.kde/Autostart or ~/.kde4/Autostart The daemon will now run whenever you log in. At this point all you need to do to use dropbox is drag files into your ~/Dropbox folder and it will pe propogated onto the network. You can put a link to this folder on your desktop if you like, or in kde4 setup a folderview plasmoid for the files. Note that dropbox will only actually update the folder when you are online (obviously) but you do not need to be online to add things to the local folder. Hope this helps see ya -- dh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Hi David,
Hi again, I did a bit more thinking and realized I had perhaps left some gaping holes in my howto. Since I have dropbox working nicely on my KDE Desktops I wanted to make sure you wouldn't run into any problems. These steps should work without any problem. Create your dropbox account Down load the program or source code from the dropbox website (or your distribution) Install as you normally would (deb, rpm, source), this will install the nautilus extension and additional files. log out log in to a gnome session (i'm sure this could be done some other way but this worked for me) When you login to gnome, an applet (the dropboxd) will start and a notification will appear. Right click on the applet to start dropbox. A guided setup wizard will open asking for your dropbox login (email address) and password. (This is the only time you will have to go through these steps) Once you have entered this info click on through to the end. At this point 2 new folders will have been created in your home directory, ~/.dropbox-dist and ~/Dropbox The .dropbox-dist folder contains the dropboxd executable, create a link to that program in your ~/.kde/Autostart folder and your ~/.kde4/Autostart folder. Now whenever you login to either flavor of kde (or gnome) Dropbox will start (quietly without intervention). You can log out of gnome and back in to your favorite Sweet KDE and everything should work quietly in the background, no more requesters (the little dropbox icon will be in your systray, but you can pretty much ignore it) The ~/Dropbox folder is the location for files you have placed or want to place on the network.
