Hmm...the host in question is a tiny VM, and the resource usage by dropboxd is negligible (<10 MB of memory, CPU usage ~0.00, in my case); if you don't believe in hearsay, try it out for yourself ;) The daemon runs completely user-side - there's no need to do anything as root, let alone store passwords (you do need to store the Dropbox auth token, so that the daemon can re-login into DB; this is more secure than storing passwords, and doesn't give you access from anywhere else). The daemon only requires shell access on install - after that, it's a completely hands-off solution. Still not sure how you'd imagine the integration - the markdown pages would be processed into HTML on the server?
