Dropbox autostart

[LanceHaverkamp]

Apparently the regular Dropbox daemon doesn’t work in LXDE (right?), but the python version does. Problem is I can't find any way to autostart a python call.

Anyone?

Hi,

put "dropboxd" in your "~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart". Worked for me.

I'm doing something differently than you are...

I put dropbox-dist in /opt
I tried putting both the dropboxd shell into autostart & a symlink, neither worked.

Where are you putting the dropbox-dist folder?
Are you linking to dropboxd?
Did you write a .desktop file linking somewhere?

Thanks,
Lance

OK I can get the regular installer to work in Debian if you place everything in home (not opt).
I had to write a .desktop file in the autostart folder to call it at boot.
