Dropbox for Linux
Posted on September 5, 2008

According to a forum post (behind a registration wall) Dropbox has released their beta Linux client. The download page has some good info (and great ASCII art too!)
Currently Dropbox for Linux consists of two major components. dropboxd is a per-user closed-source daemon process that makes sure your $HOME/Dropbox directory is properly synchronized. nautilus-dropbox is a GPL‘d Nautilus plugin that connects to dropboxd (via a pair of Unix domain sockets) and presents a GUI based on the information dropboxd provides.
Dropbox now covers Windows, Mac and Linux. Good stuff!
I have a few beta invites left, drop a comment if you’d like one.

Oh, and contrary to what you might have read on some SEO forum, this is not a "Do Follow" blog.
This is awesome! I would love a beta invite.
@Mike – invite sent. Enjoy
wow, I’ve been waiting for this, great news.
I’d love an invite please!
I’ve been waiting for this! Any chance of an invite?
I was waiting for this with bated breath. I would totally appreciate an invite.
@alastair & @david – Invites sent.
@Joe – Dropbox says you already have an invite.
Very good news, do you have any invites left? (I would like one
)
I’m waiting for the day a startup releases linux version on the same day as other versions. Do you still have an invite left? Thanks
I would, of course, like an invite as well. Thanks for the update!
@Niels, Raja and Dale – invites sent.
So uh, where’d you find me? Is this post on a forum somewhere?
I think everyone is getting this from reddit…btw, could i get an invite as well?
Someone linked your post on reddit. Also, do you think I could have an invite as well
Please may I have an invite?
Chris: It’s on the front page of reddit right now (for at least many people).
Nice project.
(Also, I would also like one of said invites; I’ve been looking for a service like this that doesn’t suck.)
@tenbull, DB says you already have an invite.
Vageli, Miki and Wes — invites sent.
And now I’m out, sorry folks. Try and get the guys that got invites (above) to share
I would like an invite please.
I’ve been following this project for a while and I’m very pleased to hear about the update from you about the beta linux client being available. Thank you so much.
And, naturally, I would like an invite to this exciting project as well please!
(I found this article in the upcoming section in Digg.com and dugg it!)
Ohh I thought you needed an invite for the beta itself…thanks for trying though!
I tried to register at your site but it didn’t work out. So may I have an invite please?
i’d like an invite please
thanks
Thanks for the invite! Much appreciated!
would love a beta invite!
thanks
Any invites left? Ta muchly
Hey there,
I came across this post via a google search for the linux client beta. If you still have any invites left I’d really love to check it out. I’ve been impatiently waiting for a couple months now.
Thanks,
-Terry
Thanks so much for the invite. It works as expected, although it’s definitely still beta. The only issue I’ve had is that it stopped my background image from being animated, fixed via update this morning. I have invites for any one still looking, if Chris would be kind enough to pass on a list.
@Mike – That’s a great offer! Hopefully some of the others will do the same *hint*
I’m not comfortable passing along commenter email addresses to other folks (feels wrong somehow), but perhaps one of the following would work:
1) You leave a contact email here that folks could use to send invite requests.
or
2) Folks wanting invites could leave their email address in the body of the comment
Any one who would like an invite can email:
dbox1644@gmail.com
Good idea.
In case anyone has some to spare, I’m still looking for an invite:
almarex@gmail.com
Thanks!
o thanks, I got one (so now you can email me if you need an invite)
Check http://www.getdropbox.com/ — looks like they’re out of beta now. Hopefully you all don’t need to farm invites anymore
[...] a quick note: Dropbox has launched today. No more chasing invites. Looks like the Linux client has gone live today as [...]
