Dropbox Repository

I checked on linux.dropbox.com and the most recent repository is still Disco whose version apparently passed end of life and is not supported anymore. Is it okay from a security point of view to continue using the desktop application? Thanks.


Solution 1:

Dropbox is well-integrated with current Ubuntu desktop environments, depending on them you can proceed as follows:

  • GNOME Shell

    sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox
    
  • MATE as in Ubuntu MATE

    sudo apt-get install caja-dropbox
    
  • Xfce as in Xubuntu

    sudo apt-get install thunar-dropbox-plugin
    

then follow instructions on screen.
