This container is no longer maintained. Please use something like janeczku/dropbox instead

docker-dropbox is a Docker container that runs the linux version of Dropbox.

Quick Start

1. Run the docker container:

   docker run -d --name dropbox bennetimo/docker-dropbox

2. The container will start running, but it is not yet linked to your dropbox account:

   Run docker logs dropbox and it will give you a link like:

   This computer isn't linked to any Dropbox account...
   Please visit https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=xxx to link this device.
   

   Visit the link in a browser and sign it to your Dropbox account to complete the setup.

3. Run docker logs dropbox again after a short while and you should see something like:

   This computer is now linked to Dropbox. Welcome <Name>

Done! The container is now running and linked to your Dropbox :)
