Dropbox Givaway

I'm sure you heard of Dropbox, the popular cross platform file syncing tool. It is very useful for backing up data as it will keep a copy of you data in the cloud. Another useful feature is the web interface. If you are at school or work you can still access you Dropbox files. If you would like to sign up for Dropbox, visit this link. Both you and I will receive and extra 250 MB thanks to Dropbox's referral program.

The details about the giveaway are at the end of this post.

To install Dropbox in Ubuntu, run the following commands:

• add deb http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu VERSION main" to /etc/apt/sources.list
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox

When you first run  Dropbox, this dialog will open asking you to install the proprietary daemon. Click "OK", and the installation will begin.

Wait while the daemon is downloaded and installed.

After the daemon has been installed, a dialog will open to allow you to set up you account. If you already have an account, select the second radio button and click forward.

After filling in you email, password and computer name click forward.

When you get to this screen click forward unless you want to pay for extra storage.

Now you can view a tour of Dropbox. Click Forward to see the rest of the tour.

After the tour has finished, you can specify a custom location for your Dropbox folder.
