Dropbox for Ubuntu cannot be installed and accessed

In the past few years, good applications will always be harmonious by GFW, but there are still some ways to use them.

The Ubuntu version provided by Dropbox has only one Deb installation package, but this installation package is only a shell. to use its functions, you must download the proprietary daemon from the Internet. Therefore, after you have fully loaded Deb, you will be prompted at startup: In order to use Dropbox, you must download the proprietary daemon.

This is a fatal problem because it is harmonious and you cannot download this program from its official website. However, you can download this daemon from other websites. The file name is:
Dropbox-lnx.x86-0.7.110.tar.gz. Download the package, decompress it to your personal folder, and start Dropbox.

Prompt: the daemon decompressed file is. dorpbox-Dist and will not be displayed directly.

1. We all know that www.dropbox.com cannot be accessed. However, you can go in occasionally. In any case, Step 1: Open the terminal, enter sudo gedit/etc/hosts, and enter the following in the pop-up dialog box:
174.36.30.68 dropbox.com
174.36.30.71 www.dropbox.com
75.101.129.115 dl.dropbox.com
Dl-web.dropbox.com 75.101.159.151
174.36.30.68 forums.dropbox.com
174.36.30.68 wiki.dropbox.com
OK. Save and exit.2. Go to www.dropbox.com to download the Deb package and select x86_i386. By default, the first one seems to be 64-bit. The downloaded files are about 80 KB. Installation. Double-click it. Run commands such as: sudo dpkg-I nautilus-dropbox_0.6.7_i386.deb, along with mention, Debian are default format is Deb, RedHat and other streams are RPM format. At startup, you will be prompted: In order to use Dropbox, you must download the proprietary daemon. Obviously, it is great and harmonious. But it doesn't matter. Next, download Dropbox-lnx.x86-0.7.110.tar.gz, in Google to copy the file name all in, you can find a web page to download. Here we provide one: Http://www.4shared.com/get/qwJIEnbt/dropbox-lnxx86-07110tar.html That is, you do not know the validity period. :-).

Download all names such as: dropbox-lnx.x86-0.7.110.tar.gz, of course this is a compressed package, we have to extract, in the terminal input: sudo tar-zxvf dropbox-lnx.x86-0.7.110.tar.gz if extract all path is download directory all words, it will extract a name. dropbox-Dist are all folders. Yes, there is a small dot in front of it, which is a hidden file. Ls-. But the startup of Dropbox will still fail, right. We need to put it under the Account directory, such as/home/samba/. Dropbox-Dist. Yes. When we started Dropbox, we found that all operations were the same under Win. Is it easy.
