[Solved] Kfilebox - Dropbox

Postby holzster » Jun 14th, '11, 15:41

Hello all

First great work!! I am a dropbox user & use it for business daily. I read a lot on these & other forums about kfilebox instead of dropbox. I installed it OK I run it it starts but it does not let me sync with my account. Even if it was a manual sync that would be OK. The account info is greayed out in the kfilebox preferences.

Any ideas? I did not see kfilebox in the repo's if it is there that might be my issue as I DL'ed it from there sourceforge page.

Thanks

Holzster

Hi Holzster,

I opened a topic about the dropbox and I found kfilebox. I installed Kfilebox on the Mageia Beta2 and now I'm using in Mageia 1.
It's working well.

You can see the warning:

[xxxxxr@localhost .dropbox-dist]$ ./dropbox
Another instance of Dropbox (3034) is running!

Open the "system monitor" (ctrl+esc) and I close (kill) the process dropbox.

and give the command "./dropbox" again:

[xxxxxr@localhost .dropbox-dist]$ ./dropbox

After that, a dialog appears warning that this machine isn't connected with the dropbox and offers a link to connect.
Just access this link, and give login and password, ready. Is connected and starts the sync.
