Note: Do not install the package "nautilus-dropbox" in the KDE4, because it can cause conicts. The package "Nautilus-dropbox" is for GNOME and Klebox is for KDE. A Dropbox menu item will appear under the 'Internet' category of the menu. On rst running Dropbox a window will appear oering to download the proprietary Dropbox binary. Two folders will be created in the home directory .dropbox-dist contains the Dropbox binaries, and .dropbox will be used to contain your conguration. After the binary has been downloaded a window will appear oering to link your computer to an existing Dropbox account or to open a new account. Imagem 7

Packages
1. MAGEIA 1 - nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7-1.mga1.i586.rpm - Dropbox extension for Nautilus GNOME 2. MAGEIA 2 - nautilus-dropbox-1.4.0-1.mga2.nonfree.i586.rpm - Dropbox extension for Nautilus GNOME

Upgrading Dropbox Distribution

Both Klebox and Nautilus-dropbox will download the proprietary dropbox application from the dropbox site and save it in the hidden folder /home/user/.dropbox-dist. If you think you may be using an outdated version of dropbox you can check the version by examining the le VERSION in .dropbox-dist. To upgrade to the latest version of dropbox, delete the .dropbox-dist folder and restart Nautilus-dropbox or Klebox and the latest version will be downloaded. Older versions of the dropbox distribution had an incompatibility with the libz.so.1 library shipped with Mageia which caused the dropbox icon to not appear in the system tray. Upgrading to the current version resolves the issue.
