The icon looks a bit like a recycling symbol. This is not a good metaphor for cloud storage. And no linux client.

- untouchable 15y agoNo linux client turned me off of full adoption (especially when dropbox does support linux)
- lomegor 15y agoWhile Dropbox does support Linux, I could only get the client to work on the Ubuntu distro. Not saying that Google Drive is better (they don't even have a client), but that Dropbox Linux support is not so good.
- sriramk 15y agoI got it to work pretty easily on Centos.
- jlarocco 15y agoI haven't tried this, and it's a bit old, but: http://v3gard.com/2009/04/using-dropbox-on-slackware/ http://v3gard.com/2009/04/using-dropbox-on-slackware/ Seems like the general idea could be used on other distros.
- ajross 15y agoI'm running it just peachy right now on Fedora 16 x86_64. Add a repo, install the package, and it bootstraps itself. It's quite clean.
- manveru 15y ago`yaourt -S dropbox` on Arch Linux works fine :) Been using their linux client since 2008 or so, and I can't recall having any problems.
- antihero 15y agoWorking great on Arch!
- Craiggybear 15y agoI just can't believe the no Linux client schtick. It makes no sense.
- albertzeyer 15y agoIt shouldn't be complicated to write a FUSE client, should it?
