That's not correct. You can install and use it without having X
installed. I did it so on one of the servers in the office. There is a
CLI script written in python which is officially supported:
https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py
To install Dropbox without X you can follow this howto:
https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx
I'm using Dropbox on all of my machines (3 Macs, 2 Linux-Server, 1
Windows-PC, iPhone and iPad) but I would prefer a fully encrypted
service where I can use my very own private Key. "Unfortunately" my free
Account has been extended to more than 10GB and this keeps me using it.
Anyway if you have some critical data you can use Tools like Truecrypt
(which is available for every platform Dropbox supports) to encrypt them
by creating a Truecrypt-Container in your Dropbox-Folder. This works
fine even with a rather large container (or several ones), as Dropbox
only uploads the changed part of the file. I've used Dropbox as a paid
user some time ago and had a Virtual Machine in my Folder (25GB virtual
HDD).
- - Upgrading to Pro-Account is rather expensive.
(Compared to normal Webspace, Server-Hosting, etc.)
- - Files could not be synced between your Machines only
without being uploaded to Dropbox
- - A joined shared folder will use up your own quota
By for now!
