Hi, I just spent a couple of unnerving hours trying to make Dropbox work on CentOS 6.6. Is there a way that 1. Actually works? 2. Doesn't include jumping through burning loops?

Doesn't include jumping through burning loops?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?? -- //Sorin
FYI It works for me on Centos 7 when I used it last week.

It would indeed be helpful if the OP listed the particular problems they encountered. -- Liam

I downloaded the Fedora RPM (32-bit), installed it (using yum localinstall) and started it using the new Internet > Dropbox menu entry. 1. A progression bar "Downloading Dropbox menu" appears. 2. A second progression bar "Unpacking..." appears. 3. Then nothing happens. 4. 'ps aux' shows a busy 'dropbox' process. YMMV, but this does *not* work on CentOS 6.6.

I followed the instructions step by step (there are only two). I downloaded Dropbox, launched the daemon manually as described... ... and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
