Title: use Dropbox?
Post by: loppanjo on April 10, 2016, 12:55:04 PM

I've recently searched the forums and noticed that for example 'Micro Core' can use dropbox.
Is it possible to install dropbox on piCore? searched tce but didn't find anything and no one mentions it in the 'raspberry pi' section

Or is there any other software to use instead of Dropbox? I don't wanna have a FTP server running.

Hi
I have once used the "Headless-Installation" described here:
https://www.dropbox.com/install
(scroll down a bit)

I use the web version..  Just login and upload, download, copy or open files as needed.  Nothing is synced locally

Me too. The website is quite heavy though.

I just tried the binary version x86-3.16.1 and found the following things are needed.

dropbox.tcz.dep

Code: [Select]

libxslt.tcz
glib2.tcz
dbus.tcz
xkeyboard-config.tcz
Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz


tce.installed/dropbox

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -e /usr/share/X11/xkb ]; then
  ln -s /usr/local/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/X11/xkb
fi

The thing is I can't use the web version, im using my Raspberry as a server and therefor no GUI and want to sync web files with it through dropbox so I can upload and edit the webpage from any location.

If ftp is too insecure, use ssh?

There are Linux clients for MS OneDrive and Google Drive not only for this old, low storage capacity (I mean free) services just to mention the biggest ones. Not in the repo, but you can build yourself and try.

You can have your own VPS also for $5/month with 20GB storage with your own LINUX and you can use rsync, sftp, webdav or what ever you want instead of these giants. I can give you a $10 coupon if you want to try free such a VPS :)
