Believe it http://query7.com/dropbox-on-fedora-believe-it http://query7.com/dropbox-on-fedora-believe-it#comments Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:05:01 +0000 admin http://www.query7.com/?p=64 I was lucky enough to get chosen to be one of the 25 alpha testers for the linux dropbox client. We were given the choice to download a precomiled .deb, or the source code. Since i use Fedora, i opted for the source code. I attempted to compile it and then i came across some dependency issues.There were 2-3 packages that i needed to find work arounds for, they weren’t in the default repositories and for one (i think) there wasn’t a package for it so i needed to compile it.

I eventually was able to compile it without any errors. It did need a system restart to take effect, but low and behold.

Ill leave the rest of the explaining to the video below…

When they do a full release there will be two types of accounts, premium and free. The free accounts will get 1gb of space each, premium is as of yet undecided. At the moment they are beta testing. Beta accounts get 2gb of space and will be kept free forever.
