https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx

Follow the part under "Install Dropbox via command line"

You can put the daemon in your startup folder so that it will start with puppy. Or make yourself a nice desktop icon.

EDIT: oh, it's Saluki, not puppy. but it should work either ways.

Good chance you can use Dropbox portable app http://portableapps.com/node/30683, that is what I use. Symlink it to /root/Startup if you want it to load automatically at boot.

I don't get it. Seems just as simple to log on with a browser. It would be different if there was an icon on the desktop where you could just drag files.
