Upgrading to Dropbox 1.0 on Ubuntu
Dropbox has to be one of my favorite services. I honestly don’t know what I would do without it.
Recently Dropbox moved up to version 1.0. Awesome! Right? Well, how do you upgrade to it in Ubuntu? The nautlius-dropbox package you installed didn’t receive an upgrade because no Dropbox repository was added to your sources. So what do we do?
Simple. Just stop Dropbox and remove the daemon.
)
Step 1) Close Dropbox
Step 2) Open up Terminal
Step 3) rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist
Step 4) Start Dropbox again from Applications->Internet->Dropbox
Let Dropbox install the proprietary daemon again, and once it’s done, you’ll be happy to see that Dropbox 1.0 is installed and running. Complete with Selective Sync!
