Ubuntu как удалить dropbox

Обновлено: 02.07.2024

For some reason installing Dropbox via software center does not work.

I get a message that sends me to Dropbox website where I follow the instructions. But at the end it says it says:

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

I am not able to do this. Running the command

/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd fails for me.

Running Ubuntu on Windows 7 Home Edition.

When I followed these instructions and then when I start dropbox it says "Dropbox is running from an unsupported location" then it asks me to go to their install page. I hit cancel on that page and then it proceeded to set things up correctly. it did make me a little nervous but it seems to be working. In case you are using Lubuntu 13.10, it works the same way except that in the last step you run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dropbox

Ubuntu repository (13.04 ≤ version)

This is the simplest method; choose this unless you have a reason not to.

Official PPA (8.04 ≤ version < 16.04)

This is the way to go on Ubuntu 12.04 and older.

Add Dropbox’s repository key

Add Dropbox’s repository

Update and install Dropbox

Follow the instructions on the screen.

Debian packages

There are current direct links at Dropbox website. You can install them manually.

Binary distribution

The Dropbox daemon works fine on all 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers. To install, run the following command in your Linux terminal.

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder:

For additional information here's the official manual.

If I install if from the command-line, will it be automatically tracked and updated by apt ? @Seanny123, I guess so, if the package dropbox is installed and it has a repository entry in /etc/apt/sources.list or in one of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

I solved this by using precise in my source file instead of quantal. Technically, I'm using a version of dropbox that's not meant for my system, but I'm assuming the differences are small (it's only 6 months). So far, no problems on two different machines. YMMV.

Note: this is valid as of the time I'm typing this. They may add quantal support in the future.

Very simple on Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04 (last one checked by Craig McQueen, thanks :-))

If the graphical wizard does not download dropbox, you can perform it within a terminal:

You may need to stop nautilus or to check whether it is currently running:


Hi @Seanny123. Do you use Ubuntu 14.10 ? I can check that tonight.

Dropbox integration with Nautilus, Caja and Thunar file browsers is enabled by installing one or more of the following three packages with sudo apt install <package-name> in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu.

thunar-dropbox-plugin - context menu items from Dropbox for Thunar. This plugin does not come with Dropbox itself, you will need to install that separately.
