Thunar, Debian and drop box

Hi,

I'd like use Drop box in Thunar on  Debian 12.
I installed a package from Debian repository [1] and restarted the machine but nothing
happened.
Could you help me to solve the problem?

Thank you.

Re: Thunar, Debian and drop box

Have you installed dropbox, signed in, and have a Dropbox folder? Right-click on that folder, or right-click on any file in the Dropbox folder, and you will get extra dropbox menu options in the context menu:

Re: Thunar, Debian and drop box

Taken from the link you posted:

This plugin does not come with dropbox itself, you will need to install that separately.

You need to get the binary from Dropbox and install it. It will take care of your sources.list to keep it current as well.
