That is how I've been using it on my n810 so far. I have read a few things over on the beta testers forum about a python cli but I don't know how this works in with the linux version as I have only been using the mac & windows clients.

As soon as some of the digg traffic dies down, I'll see if I can find out anything as well as reaching out to the dropbox team about perhaps an NIT optimized "view".

The file versioning alone has saved my bacon at work. I would love to be able to sync across all my platforms!
