How to get Dropbox on Ubuntu Linux – Guide
Dropbox is a leader in cloud storage, offering a native Linux application and support for 32-bit Linux systems.
Installing Dropbox on Ubuntu is easy - no need to overcomplicate it. This tutorial will walk you through the simple steps.
Install Dropbox on Ubuntu Desktop
Let’s see the installation procedure step by step.
Ubuntu users can now access Dropbox with the new Dropbox Installer. The installer allows users to quickly and easily download and install the popular cloud storage service on their Ubuntu devices.
Dropbox offers DEB files for its installer, available for download on their website.
For Ubuntu users, the 64-bit version of the DEB file should be downloaded.
Install Dropbox Installer
Downloading the deb file for Dropbox is just the first step in the installation process. Similar to Steam on Ubuntu, the actual Dropbox installation will begin after this initial download.
Users can quickly and easily install a downloaded deb file by double clicking on it or right clicking and selecting “Open with Software Installation.”
The software center is now open, allowing users to click the install button.
The installation process is nearing completion.
Start the Dropbox installation
Users can now access Dropbox by pressing the Windows key and clicking on the Dropbox icon.
Ubuntu’s first release featured two pop-ups: one prompting users to restart Nautilus, the file explorer, and another to install Dropbox.
To install the Dropbox client, click either ‘Restart Nautilus’ or ‘OK’ (depending on whether a pop-up installer appears). If the ‘Nautilus Restart’ window does not close when clicking the Close button, click the x button instead.
The Dropbox installation process is underway - wait for it to finish.
Dropbox has added new features, including the ability to view sync status in File Explorer, prompting a restart of Nautilus.
Once Dropbox is installed, users will be taken to the login page or can click the Dropbox icon at the top of their screen and select the login option.
Going forward, Dropbox settings can be accessed in a new way.
Ubuntu users can now take advantage of the cloud storage and file sharing capabilities of Dropbox. The popular service is now available for download on Ubuntu, allowing users to store, sync, and share their files with ease.
