I'm trying to get Dropbox installed. Following instruction on two or three different pages I thought I had everything downloaded and ready to install. There still seems to be some Nautilus dependencies that I just can't seem to resolve. I had the idea of adding the gnome repositories. Loads of links to openSUSE gnome repositories but not the standard repos that are in the regular Gnome installation. Is there some simple way to just add the standard Gnome repos to the list?
Billie,
Search for kfilebox - it is a kde dropbox front end. When I installed it and first ran it it automatically downloaded and started the dropbox daemon and then ran the dropbox account setup. Completely painless.
HTH. Rodney.
Just had a play with it - works well. It integrates directly with Dolphin. A couple of hints; when you first run it, it installs the Dropbox daemon (as I mentioned) and starts the apparently Java-based dropbox interface to set up/link to your dropbox account.
You need to start kfilebox again to get the kfilebox icon in the systemtray and the dolphin integration working (at least, I did anyway). You can then right click on the other dropbox icon and select "Quit Dropbox" to get rid of it from the system tray. THIS WILL kill the dropbox daemon - then right-click on the kfilebox icon in systray and select "Start Dropbox".
You should now have full dropbox integration with dolphin, including the right-click context menus. You will also need to right-click on the kfilebox icon again, select Preferences and set the dropbox folder location (which by default will have been installed to /home/<your_user>/Dropbox unless you've told it to go somwhere else durign the install). This way, when you left-click on the kfilebox systray icon, Dolphin (or your chosen file manager) will open in the Dropbox folder.
Regards, Rodney.
This worked for me too on another computer. The only difference is that after I had kfilebox running, it was redundant, as my dropbox was fully integrated into dolphin and the system tray. So I then uninstalled kfilebox afterwards, and dropbox continues to run without a problem.
