Installing Dropbox on KDE Plasma

I read in system requirements that in Linux, a full desktop install needs gnome or xfce (or unity), but here I see people talking about Dropbox on Kubuntu. That's the OS I've considered installing. Would I have to do something special to have my DB files in Kubuntu? Or does a full install mean more than what I have in my Dropbox Plus account?

    Hi frankpxl,

    No you don't need to do anything special. Just install appropriate deb package version suitable for your Ubuntu version (depending is your version 22.04 or earlier, or you have more recent version). That's it.

    Good luck.
