Need help installing Dropbox on a Raspberry Pi
Hello guys,
I'm trying to install dropbox on my RPI 3 ModelB with Raspbian OS. I'm running the following commands.
pip install dropbox
sudo pip install dropbox
The dropbox gets successfully ...
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!
I found this thread almost first thing when trying to get Dropbox to work with my Raspberry Pi 4, so I decided to post the work around I found here.
rclone
It syncs with a great number of cloud platforms, but most importantly it had a GUI interaface available in the Raspbain repo. Once I found it, it only took a minute to get my Dropbox synced up to my pi. I've had some trouble open some files directly from the mounted dropbox, but it does sync properly. rclone's documentation was fairly clear and easy to follow too.
