Dropbox is my favorite online data storage and file sharing. I can store and access my files from anywhere. Here I want to show you how to install Dropbox on Pear OS 8. When Dropbox application is installed on Pear OS 8, we can easily drop files to a special Dropbox folder on Pear OS and then we can access the files from anywhere via internet.
In order to install Dropbox on Pear OS 8, please follow these procedures:
1. Install Dropbox.
Open Terminal and type
sudo apt-get install dropbox
2. After installation, run Dropbox from Launchpad and you will be asked to download Dropbox daemon. Press OK to start download
Wait until downloading process is finished. But, in my case, this process is stuck when the download is finished. To solve this, we can continue install Dropbox manually. Open Terminal and type this command
cd ~
wget -c https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-2.4.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf dropbox-lnx.x86-2.4.0.tar.gz
cd .dropbox-dist
sudo chmod +x dropboxd
3. Now you can open Dropbox by clicking the Dropbox icon on Launchpad. Log in or register Dropbox to start using it.
Thank you, this way it worked perfectly!
