Starting dropbox at the start of the computer

Question

I have followed this answer to this post, in particular I have followed the binary section, since I couldn't make the other work (I have a problem of dependencies with nautilus), but it seems that dropbox will start only when I type ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd. How do I make dropbox start at the start of the computer.

Answer 1

In order to start Dropbox at the startup you need to open Startup applications and click on Add. It would be having 3 fields Name, Command and Comment. Set name as Dropbox, command as ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd and comment whatever you want and click on Add

Hope it helps.:-)
