====== Dropbox Backup ======

Local backup of adc's Dropbox account on ''bluey'' home PC.  

===== Installation of Dropbox Linux software =====

From website:

https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux

2025-03-02 \\
Performed "headless install via command line" from that page.  

Also downloaded the ''dropbox.py'' script, moved it to ''/home/anthony/.'', made it executable, and made a symlink to it (named ''dropbox'' without any extension) in ''/usr/local/bin'', which is on ''PATH''.  

Now can run commands using this script from the bash command line, e.g.:

<code bash>
dropbox status
dropbox help
</code>

===== Moved storage to secondary HDD by making symlinks =====

2025-03-02

In ''/home/anthony/.'', did:

<code bash>
mv ./Dropbox/ /media/dbox_backup/Dropbox
ln -sf ./Dropbox/ /media/dbox_backup/Dropbox
mv ./.dropbox/ /media/dbox_backup/.dropbox
ln -sf ./.dropbox/ /media/dbox_backup/.dropbox
</code>

Also tried doing same for ''.dropbox-dist'' dir, which holds the ''dropboxd'' Dropbox daemon app, but that created errors when trying to run ''dropboxd''.  So I moved that dir back to home.
