You're right of course, Rich, I forgot that Raspberry doesn't run on a standard processor, and there is definitely no ARM implementation of the Dropbox app.
fadi, after glancing at some YouTube videos, it appears they're either using code from Github to directly upload files to the site without the use of an app, or using a service which emulates an x86 environment, to which the desktop app can be installed.
Hope that helps!

Hi there, currently the only supported distros are Ubuntu and Fedora, so the amount of info we can provide is limited.
Does the Dropbox desktop application appear in the menu bar? Are you instead doing a headless installation of the app? Have you tried doing an advanced reinstall?
Keep me posted!

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the reply. I can't see the Dropbox application in the menu bar. When I try to run the command as per the link you've shared I get this.
dropbox: command not found
Any thoughts?
