dropbox installer

Currently it downloads a particular release of DropBox

The automatic update feature is broken at this time. WhoCares? is looking into a fix for this. For now the update files that dropbox automatically downloads are deleted.

You would have to pay for an update. See http://www.readynasxtras.com/about (page appears to be down at the moment but shouldn't be for too long).

However if you know what you're doing you could extract the contents of the add-on modify the install script (i.e. the line where the dropbox tar archive is downloaded from dropbox.com via wget) to download the latest version of DropBox and install the add-on over the top of itself. No guarantees this would work (though in most cases it should), but you'd be missing any bug fixes or other improvements WhoCares? makes to the add-on.

This is my favourite community add-on at the moment.
