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.
well i voted but in no way do i want my votes towards dropn900.

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.
to be perfectly honest this is a much better solution !!

hopefully one day we'll see a realistic option
