Dropbox on OS6

Hello,

Is it possible to get Dropbox running on OS6?
I have a 314, and I know you can backup to dropbox, but I need full sync as we could in he older models.
I've tried everything I can to get it running, and get as far as installing it, but when I try to run dropboxd it gives me "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
Any help from the experts would be appreciated...

Thanks

With SSH/CLI (and Python) you could probably do: http://www.dropboxwiki.com/tips-and-tricks/using-the-official-dropbox-command-line-interface-cli

Re: Dropbox on OS6

Thanks ClaesBas,

Doesn't seem to be the problem - I tried mucking round with it but still can't get it running.

See some of the stuff I've tried below. It keeps telling me "The Dropbox daemon is not installed! Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon" but running "dropbox start -i" doesn't start it.
