Setup Dropbox

Dropbox 64-bit​

To install Dropbox on your Linux machine with a 64-bit architecture, follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal and navigate to your home directory by running the following command:
cd ~
  1. Download the Dropbox installation package using the following command:
wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -

This command will download the Dropbox installation package and extract its contents.

  1. Once the download and extraction are complete, you can run the Dropbox daemon. Navigate to the newly created .dropbox-dist folder by running the following command:
cd ~/.dropbox-dist
  1. Finally, start the Dropbox daemon by running the following command:
./dropboxd
  1. Add a shortcut to open dropbox, create a .sh file
#!/bin/bash
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

The Dropbox daemon will now run in the background, and you can access your Dropbox files through the Dropbox application on your Linux machine.

That's it! You have successfully installed and set up Dropbox on your Linux machine with a 64-bit architecture. Enjoy using Dropbox to sync and share your files!
