I didn’t mind, on [search.opensuse.org/search](http://search.opensuse.org/search), if you search for “dropbox” it does not match anything because by default the search option “Include users’ home projects” is not checked. ## – ste615 ste615’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=12247](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=12247) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=374446](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=374446) ---

Hi! I compiled Dropbox 1.4 from sources, but Nautilus integration doesn’t work. Then I tried to install older versions of Dropbox (0.7.1 and 0.6.9) from packages, but they broke Nautilus. Did anyone make this work? ---
