Dropbox on remote linux shell account

I have a shell account on a remote linux computer and I want the contents of my home machine's Dropbox folder also on the remote computer. How can I do this?

      I'm getting errors when I try to run the script:

      .../.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-69.4.102/dropbox: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /meta/b/borgauf/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-69.4.102/dropbox)

      and

      .../.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-69.4.102/dropbox: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /meta/b/borgauf/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-69.4.102/dropbox)

      Please advise.

      I got errors. Something about /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' and /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17'. BTW, I tried before to post a reply and it got marked as spam?!

        That's a program (and its respective version) that is required by Dropbox. You'll need to make sure it's installed on your system for Dropbox to function properly. Do a Google search and you'll find more information.

        Yes, it was marked as spam by the automated system, likely because of the full paths you included in the post.
