Hello,
Any one knows what the "read carefully" message that pops up right after installation says? I pressed space key before reading it by accident and couldn't read what it says? Sad
Cordialement.This box will not disapper until you will click 'OK' button. Leave it on the screen, to remember things to do. In the meantime, Dropbox will start. This is the final step of this installer.
Important to know: for security reasons, especially if you run as root and do not need following service, it is a good choice to close, on your system, 17500 listen ports (TCP/UDP), used by Dropbox for LAN synchronization. You can do it, permanently, by right clicking on your Dropbox icon in the system tray, choosing to untick 'Preferences' > 'Bandwidth' > 'Enable LAN sync'. Exit and start again Dropbox (there is an entry in Internet menu) to fix the change.
Fork of MyDbox project named as original one
Hello Argolance,
MyDbox is not an orphan project, only a software that seems to already fit most of Puppy official (maybe not all puplet) user needs as it is now (my last version 1.2), therefore it's not frequently upgraded.
In case of doubts about its development, everybody can find my e-mail address in source code and, if Puppy forum user, can also write me in private mode. It would have been nice if you did it. Instead, I just saw (due to a notification problem) your package (in multiple versions), named as my original MyDbox.
I my opinion, yours is a fork of my project. Actually, my software's philosophy is very different from yours. For example (not the only one), mine is acting like "a ghost" on the user box, leaving a very clean system, only Dropbox and an option to uninstall.
To avoid confusion and allow me to continue my work when really needed (at my discretion, bugs, user requests, etc.), I ask you to rename your project and rename your thread about MyDbox with that new name.
Thank you.
Regards.

Good to see you're still around.
I'm working on new MyDbox right now, so I'll be still around.slavvo67 wrote:It's been a while.
@forum people/Puppy Linux users: THANK YOU <3 for all your feedbacks and downloads of this software (counter, on first post of this thread, marks less than true, because early MyDbox versions were deleted, instead of updated, and it isn't counting downloads from my repo and Tahr PM downloads - official thanks to 666philb who had trusted this little utility <3 -).

Hello Whitesnow,
I am just wondering why you didn't send me a PM? I would have corrected things immediately.
Here is the translation of the introduction of my thread:
Again, my apologies!
[EDIT Thu Nov 22, 2018]: renamed as DropBoxUtil.
Cordialement.
I discover your messages by chance, long after you have written them! Although you haven't surfaced since then, glad to know you're still around. Absolutely sorry for taking over without your permission .Whitesnow wrote:Hello Argolance,

By giving it the same name, I thought I was doing you credit...Argolance wrote:Whitesnow, the creator of MyDbox, seems to have been absent from the Forum for almost two years. I hope not to offend him by proposing this package that I did not call other than the original and based on the "pinstall.sh" file of the package that I allowed myself to make a small independent application that can work on almost all Puppies.
Again, my apologies!
