Linux : Easy way to share files with Dropbox

With Dropbox, you will able to share and automatically sync your file into the Dropbox server. Pretty easy and fast too!

For Linux, go here. https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx . In this post, this is how-to for Fedora.

Environment : Behind proxy.

1. Download and install dropbox rpm. (rpm -ivh)
2. From terminal dropbox start -i to start Dropbox daemon. Register with Dropbox if you did not have any Dropbox account.

*After the setup, you will see, Dropbox folder in your /home/. This is where Dropbox will sync the folder with the Dropbox server. Basically, you just upload any files on the Dropbox folder and it will automatically sync to the server.

3.After you place any file on the Dropbox folder, let's say Dropbox/Public, you will see there is an small emblem to your file.



4. After awhile, your file will sync to the server. Head to Dropbox account, you will see the file that you just sync via /home/Dropbox folder. :)

*there is a dropbox icon in you tray.
