Dropbox

[The_Doctor]

When I type in dropbox and click on it, nothing happens. How do I sync to dropbox?
Thank you for your kind replies.

I am no dropbox expert, but I just happened to finally install dropbox-nautilus from synaptic yesterday and it installed and was set up just fine.

1) When you installed the package, it did it download and install and then give you a chance to enter you login info?
2) Hit Ctrl-ESC and quick search for dropbox.   Is is running?
3)  Do you have the dropbox icon in your taskbar?

Do you mean nautilus-dropbox?
Isn't this intended for gnome's nautilus integration?

@The_Doctor
For dolphin integration you just need the dolphin-plugins package.
   

PS: Dropbox should sync automatically. However, clicking on the tray icon should give you a context menu where you can change your preferences.

Oops,  Yes, I did mean nautilus-dropbox and I totally forgot about the dolphin-plugins.
Searching synaptic for dropbox didn't show that package.
But nautilus-dropbox is working fine so far, and if I remember correctly from using the dolphin-plugins back in my netrunner day, I am more comfortable with the implemenation of nautilus-dropbox.

That's cool. Definitely use whatever your comfortable with.
