Question: How to use Dropbox on managed Linux Clients?

* Dropbox is not available over SEPP on our managed Linux Clients. If you need to use Dropbox please Refer to this site: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=2543

The Dropbox Linux CLI dbcli.py was created to accommodate for the lack of an official Linux CLI for Dropbox. This Python program allows you to query the daemon in a similar manner to the GUI client.

The available commands can be obtained by running dbcli.py help:

Usage: dbcli.py <command> [options] ... <command> [options] 
Available commands:
  status - Get overall status for the daemon.
  copypublic <file> - Copies the url to the clipboard (? I guess) 
  install <x86/x86_64> - Tries to download the daemon and install it in your home directory. 
  browse <folder> - Browse the specified folder in your browser. 
  copygallery - Copies the gallery url to the clipboard. 
  share <file> - Open the browser and shows share-information. 
  file <file> - Get information about a file/folder. 
  folder <folder> - Get information about a file/folder.
  help - Gives this. 
  revisions <file> - Opens the revisions page in your browser for the specified file.

Usage Example

$ ./dbcli.py status 
up to date 
$ ./dbcli.py folder ~/Dropbox/Work 
Folder status: up to date 
Folder is tagged as: shared
Available options for the folder:
  browse - Browse this folder via the web interface
  share - Add and remove collaborators
