15 thoughts on - Dropbox On CentOS 6?

• The procedure described on https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx has worked for me on several occasions before on CentOS 6.0 >> 6.5. Haven’t done it on 6.6 yet, but I doubt it’d be any different.

  What problems have you run into??

• FYI It works for me on CentOS 7 when I used it last week.

• Hello Andrew,

  Me too, no problem here.

  Regards,

• That procedure works for me up to and including 6.6. It would indeed be helpful if the OP listed the particular problems they encountered.

• Remember you can install already downloaded rpm’s with yum as well, it’ll download any dependencies you’re possibly missing that Dropbox requires. ;-)

• Hi,

  just use the Fedora RPM from Dropbox. It’s working fine. The files included and a German posting is at

• I did notice when I installed Dropbox for my mother on Linux Mint 17, that the program spent quite a while preparing a file list. It took the better part of an hour for barely 500 MB of file-data.

  I’ll try this in a virtual CentOS 6.6-install. I’ll do an Arnie.

• Ran into the same problem. An error log in .xsession-errors was mentioned so I had a look there. Is anybody able to make heads or tails of the below?
  Thanks.

• Have you SELinux enabled?

• Nope!

• Hello,

  Since I-do-not-know-when (but this is recent) I cannot see the dropbox panel item anymore and xsession_errors shows the isn’t/is already running message too. Starting dropbox from command-line shows the same. Apparently, the dropbox client could be running in an more or less hidden way: `ps` shows it, and I noticed some *syncing* (looked at my dropbox account on the web), but there is no panel item anymore.

  Strange!

  Regards,

• hi I have installed dropbox with sources, but can you tell me how can remove completely now it?
  thanks
