Solution to failure to connect to the server after Dropbox is installed in Ubuntu

Original article from http://betabone.com/archives/475.html

These years, everyone is keen to synchronize their files and other things on the cloud. I am no exception. In the past, I used a quick disk in windows. Some people may say that the domestic service is unreliable and privacy is not guaranteed, but I am not worried about it, because what I upload is not very important. In fact, I didn't think about using Dropbox either. Although it is better to say that it is on the other side of the wall. In fact, what I care most about is that the initial free space of Dropbox is too small to be 2 GB, which is a little small compared to sending 10 Gb at no moving speed in China, how can I use 5G. Although the various tutorials on the Internet are full of Dropbox space, I Don't Know What To brush to 18 GB, but I just don't want to do that.

Fortunately, not long ago, Dropbox launched a 5g free space activity using the test client. I also obtained 5g space through this method, in this way, I personally think it is a lot of peace of mind to upgrade the space. Then I decisively abandoned the fast disk that I used for several months and put it into the Dropbox. The biggest reason for choosing Dropbox is probably that it has a Linux client. Although there are some Linux clients such as nut cloud in China, I can't help but see no changes in the fast drive and Huawei online drive.

 

So I immediately downloaded the Dropbox installation package and installed it on Ubuntu. After the installation is complete, the prompt "trouble connecting to Dropbox server" is displayed. maybe your Internet connection is down, or you need to set your http_proxy environment variable ", which means you cannot connect to the Dropbox server.

Then I changed the hosts. The problem is still ..., Only the Google gods

The original Deb package is not complete yet. The first time you start the package, you need to download a .tar.gz package. Obviously, the package's address is locked.

So need to go to this address http://www.getdropbox.com/download? Plat = lnx. x86 download this .tar.gz package, of course, first climb the wall. (I passed this file to the Huawei Network Disk http://dl.dbank.com/c0gn9fi0et, can not climb the wall if you trust me can download)

Right-click the downloaded dropbox-lnx.x86-1.2.52.tar.gz file and decompress it here.

Press Ctrl + H to display hidden files

Copy the extracted. Dropbox-Dist file to the main folder.

Finally, open Dropbox and you will be able to use it normally ~

Finally, send my dropbox invitation to connect to the http://db.tt/Uyy1hBaz, register the Dropbox account through this link, you and I can get the system free of M space. If you do not have a Dropbox account, try again ~
