Dropbox for N900?
 
Is anyone working on getting Dropbox working on Maemo5? If not, there is a Ubuntu client atleast and it's, afaik, coded in Python, so would not be impossible to port I reckon? Found a thread about it dating back to pre-maemo 5 time ( http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32334&page=2 ), but seems like it's dead. I'd love such functionality on my N900, but porting is way out of my level of expertise - so this is a polite 'I wish someone would do it' -poke on the matter. :)

I was thinking about that. But I think that first would be also nice to port files.ovi.com.

Please, if some one opens such a project on garage. please, let me know.

I would love to see dropbox on my n900 since I use it to sync my notes and stuff on all other devices. But when it comes to the linux-client I think there are two things to keep in mind.

- I think it is quite integrated in nautilus.:confused:
- It needs the closed source deamon, not compatible with the n900 arm-processor.

A more realistic scenario would be to port ubuntu one, I heard they are working on a windows client at the moment so it would be a good thing for windows users too.

But the ball is in the hands of the folks at dropbox. I do not think that it would be too much work for them, mostly compiling the deamon for the arm-processor. So if the community wants to work on this end I think it would be a speedy process.

But, I have no coding skills wse. :(

The mian problem with Dropbox's linux support is that it relies fairly heavily on Nautilus :mad:
