Yes, as said I don't have any network checks at the moment. I previously played around with Qt in C++ and using its networking features automatically triggered the OS level dialog to select network if you were not online. This is missing from python/PyQt4 it seems. It's a shame that I have to manually start making sure that user is in net. I hope I can access the dbus stuff from python also to get OS level info and for example request connection. If anyone has pointers for wiki pages etc how to do this from python that would be appreciated.

OK, I think its best to put the DL folder also to a place that really has space. Hope I don't have to start verifying too much if phone is in mass storage mode so that we don't have access to MyDocs before opening the dialog And no DropN900 does not create /home/user/Download must be some other app.

Can I ask for the trace where the error is printed. Im assuming some where in the dropbox client code where it makes the network request content with invalid chars? I'm not sure what I can do to fix this. I could change my password and play around with it.

For now I'll focus to DropBox I did already find a python lib to connect to amazon services and I'm sure it could be done quite easily if they have similar api. If it has the same functionality we can use the same UI too and just login to another service That would actually be pretty sweet, but maybe later!
