Dropbox for R6 (x86 only)
Those wanting a Dropbox add-on similar to the one for 4.2.x with support for bidirectional syncing of entire Dropboxes need wait no longer. Take a look at this great add-on by WhoCares?: https://rnxtr...

No, I meant /data/.dropbox (but not /data/.dropbox-dist and of course not /data/Dropbox)

Would have been nice to see the actual error message. But no, no logging on that either ;) But to give you a better understanding let me try to explain what is happening and also why I can't fix this.
On initial install, Dropbox Manager wil try to download the Dropbox binaries from the generic "stable" link provided by Dropbox, e.g. from here https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64
As you can see this is an unversioned link and it *should* point to the latest stable release. Unfortunately Dropbox isn't very good at keeping these links current, that's why in most of the cases Dropbox Manager will install a version that is older than the one Dropbox Manager later on reports as being the current "stable" version.
Well, I did try a simple wget on this and got:
[...]
2014-04-23 12:36:05 (1.72 MB/s) - ‘download?plat=lnx.x86_64’ saved [24380314/24380314][/code]
So at this moment, at least, it is pulling 2.6.31 when accessed.
Fine, so they finally updated the generic link target. But I'm not sure I understand the relevance here.

The version the page gave me when I paid... 1.0.1
Would be nice if you could log in again and download 1.0.4 from the "My Account" page. I'm pretty sure I fixed something for downloading updates in 1.0.2 or 1.0.3.
