KDE/Dolphin Integration

Dolphin already has a built-in service for Dropbox but it is inactive by default. You need to activate it manually.

You might need to install the dolphin-plugins package in order to perform the following steps:

zypper install dolphin-plugins

Steps:

1. Open Dolphin file manager.
2. In toolbar, click "Control" (or the "hamburger menu") > "Configure Dolphin...", open configuration dialog.
3. Click "Context Menu" section on the left panel.
4. Check "Dropbox" on service list.
5. Click "OK" to save.
6. Restart Dolphin.

Now in your Dropbox folder, you have file sync indicators and context menu for sharing.

GNOME/Nautilus Integration

If you installed Dropbox with GNOME/Nautilus, the Nautilus Dropbox plugin should be installed automatically. The plugin provides features like sync indicators and context menu actions.
