At the Dropbox Homepage there is a voting area for all registered users to collect votes for a feature request. So here is the link to the vote for a Dropbox Maemo client: https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/80/maemo-linux-client Please everyone who has a dropbox account go to this link and vote because there are only a few requesting votes left to trigger a freature request.
It's not a solution, but I wrote a script that would just invoke rsync to sync the files in my Dropbox folder on my laptop to the same on the N900 and vice versa. It works fine as a stopgap on a Linux box. Just make sure rsync is installed and this should work for you as well. If you have your Dropbox folder in a directory other than ~/Dropbox, just change that. It doesn't mess up any symlinks that you have in the Dropbox folder either because of the -k switch on the second rsync. Here is the script: Code: #!/bin/bash ### Settings ### DIRECTORY='/media/Nokia N900/' REMOTE='/media/Nokia N900/.documents/Dropbox' LOCAL=$HOME/Dropbox ORIGINAL_IFS=$IFS IFS=$'\n' ### Script ### if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then rsync -vauLP $LOCAL/ $REMOTE rsync -vauKP $REMOTE/ $LOCAL fi Just name it whatever you want (ie - n900-dropbox-sync.sh) and make it executable (chmod +x). I've also attached the script.
