I was also considering getting dropbox to work on my 323 and would like to hear from the experts if it is possible. My linux skill level is just not enough to comprehend crosscompiling (finally gave up on rtorrent+wtorrent crosscompiled from ubuntu) but I am willing to experiment.

Running dropbox on the 323 would be very cool.

One way that you can sort of *fake* it is to periodically sync a "shadow dropbox" folder on the 323 with another "real dropbox" folder someplace else on your network, on a machine running a supported dropbox client.  Can use something like rsync for this.  But it would be much nicer to have it running on the 323 itself.

Looking at things a *little* bit:

The nautilus extension would not be needed.  That is a plugin for the "file explorer" on the desktop.  Since there is no desktop, probably don't need it.  Same with libnotify-dev, as that is a desktop notification library.

I'm thinking that only the dropbox daemon needs to be built and not the nautilus plugin, so the dependencies are not really required.  I could be wrong as I have not looked at the source yet.  There are also command line interfaces for the daemon.  So it might be possible.

If I dig into this any deeper, I'll post here again.

Anyone with a dropbox account can vote for this feature request:

It might move it up the priority list even though it's supposedly coming "some time this year" since there aren't that many votes for it -- especially since there aren't any beta ("forum") builds for ARM yet and it's almost November.

Oh, and here's another more recent thread on Dropbox for ARM:

I voted too, thanks for the link.
