Running Dropbox at startup
Solution 1:
I had exactly the same problem and solve it by installing dropbox following these instructions, but substituting nautilus-dropbox
by dropbox
. That is, I installed dropbox by executing these commands:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5044912E sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dropbox
Solution 2:
I installed dropbox from the app provided in the Ubuntu Software Centre and works well placing an icon in the top bar of the screen.
