Dear all,

I updated my above post #372 to account for the difficulties encountered by noetus. The patch file has been adapted as well to reflect the necessary change in file names.
Plus I would like to point out that it seems to be normal behavior that the application will seemingly not terminate. After all there are neither up- nor downloads which is all the program's logic was designed for. Though, since local file deletion happens quickly, one may quit (almost) instantly. Yes, it is an ugly hack.

Cheers!
St. Müller, Switzerland

the Dropn900 page on the Dropbox website now shows a holding page that states

"as of October 22nd, we have shut down the Dropbox app directory indefinitely"

I just started to use dropbox on my computer and was considering to install dropn900. Does your message mean that dropn900 will no longer work?

Do you know whether on installation the dropn900 package needs to download the closed-source part from the now shut-down page?

No, it just indicates that Dropbox have decided not to keep maintaining a list of Dropbox applications.

You just need to edit the default .config file of dropbox, located in:
Code:
/opt/dropn900/.config
[If you have leafpad installed, do:

leafpad /opt/dropn900/.config]

and change the following values with:
Code:
server = api. dropbox. com 
content_server = api-content. dropbox. com 
port = 80 

request_token_url = ht tp:// api. dropbox. com/0/oauth/request_token 
access_token_url = ht tp:// api. dropbox. com/0/oauth/access_token 
authorization_url = h ttp:// api. dropbox. com/0/oauth/authorize 
trusted_access_token_url = ht tp:// api. dropbox. com/0/token
Remove the spaces before, sorry but link in post are limited.

if i dont have the file .config then i need to create one?
