Yesterday, Kalpik Nigam @ #think-digit on irc.freenode.net invited me to use Dropbox.
I took a Tour available on the website, and i quite liked the Web Interface. I Quickly downloaded the software,Fortunately it was in the Arch AUR, So i only had to to yaourt nautilus-dropbox to install it ;) i had to install nautilus too, but as i had never installed gnome, i had to download 20MB of other dependencies too :( now, taking about the interface
It Merges COMPLETELY with nautilus, here are some screenies
And this has something called Shared Folder, where the people you invite can collaboratively upload and edit file, Dropbox even saves snapshots of the file, which can be a large boon for the programmers
Hi ! Gr8 to see another indian Arch afficiondo. Your site is really good.
However while surfing I could see that you use Ratpoison – SO, how I’m reckoning you won’t be using something as bloated as nautilus as ur fm.
So, how does Dropbox integrate in other fm like Thunar ??
Gapo, You’re completely true with your observations. currently i just use dropboxd (a daemon that does all the dirty work)
you don’t even need to have a file manager, but you wont see things like which files have been updated and stuff.
