has anyone got selective sync working on dropbox for linux?

Question

i like the selective sync function on dropbox and i've got it working for dropbox 1.0 on my Mac and PC but i can't get it going for Linux. All the versions for Linux are version 0.6 without all the current features, and with a few bugs as well. But i swear i got selective sync working on linux a few months ago (before i lost the machine it was on), so they must have had a more recent linux version a while ago. Are the files on the website wrong or something?

Answer 1

Just do these following steps:

• Shutdown your dropbox with GUI or CLI

$ dropbox stop (if CLI)

• Run package update for nautilus-dropbox

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get upgrade nautilus-dropbx

• Start your dropbox again

$ dropbox start

Now enjoy the new Dropbox features.
