So that’s how you install and use Dropbox on Arch Linux. When I go to my Dropbox account from a web browser, I can see the file I just copied there as marked in the screenshot below. You can also copy files from this directory just as you would use a File manager to copy and paste files back and forth between directories.Īs you can see in the screenshot below, I copied a test.txt file in the Dropbox directory. You can paste files in this directory and the files will be automatically synced to your Dropbox account. This is the directory where all your Dropbox files will be.Īs I created a new account, inside of my Dropbox directory these are the files I have. Now go to your user’s HOME directory and you should see a new directory Dropbox as shown in the screenshot below. Once you login, you should see the following window. Then in the VBox GUI I inserted the Guest. iso from the drive, then boot up Arch in terminal mode (not running the desktop) and create the directories. If you don’t have one already, just create a new account and log in. What I did was to shut down Arch, remove the Guest. If you have a Dropbox account, just log in to your Dropbox account. Click on the Dropbox icon.Ī browser window should open as shown in the screenshot below. You should find an icon of Dropbox as shown in the screenshot below. Now go to the Application Menu or Activities in GNOME 3 Desktop Environment and look for Dropbox.
