DropBox is used to share files between different computers, phones and other devices as well as the dropbox website.
The N9 client supports up and download, how ever is not very intuitive usable.

The N900 version is a python script, and is very usable. Can't that be ported to the N9 by some enterprising soul?

Are you sure its a python script?
AFAIK DropBox is closed source!
Sure it can be ported, but why?
The existing solution looks very promising (even some UI improvements should be done)

you need to select the documents u need and add the dl queue then dl them, if you are having and error where you are getting a folder not created, just add the folders and it works perfectly.

I wonder if it would be hard to just have dropbox files appear in a folder similar to dropbox for mac (and probably linux though I haven't tried it)?
I guess mounting wouldn't be hard, but being able to generate public links would probably require some closed source tools.

I use it several times a day to sync all kinds of data between my N900 and my Mac and other machines. It's very easy - just create symlinks in the Dropbox folder to any files or folders (yes! folders!) you like on the N900, and do the same on your machines you want to keep in sync, start the DropN900 app, and press the sync button. (It will also, separately, keep your photos and videos in sync.) I don't believe you can sync in this way with the N9 DropBox app, it seems to have been designed with a different sort of use in mind. DropN900 doesn't have a very intuitive user interface, but once you've figured it out, it's extremely functional.
I wish the same existed for the N9.

that got me VERY interested.
is there any tutorial on how to use dropN900 properly? I have it installed for quite a few months but i have to admit i only used it a couple of times because..well..it seemed limited. From what you described it seems i can put it to good use as in, for example, to sync photos, mp3s with my desktop. :-)
How can i make a symlink to my video/photo/mp3 folder and let dropbox sync it?
Thanks. :-)

I have the dropbox application on my N9 but what is the use of it? i open it, log in and see my documents...but i can't open any documents. Is it only for taking pics and uploading it?
