      <title>Dropbox on Linux (limitations)?</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Discuss-Dropbox-Developer-API/Dropbox-on-Linux-limitations/m-p/274847#M5</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Looking at using a server (ubuntu) to implement a new feature to a dropbox app I've already built.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The feature would be a simple -- user of app selects file,&amp;nbsp; which is then duplicated to a special user of my app (which happens to be a linux box with the dropbox-linux sync tools installed).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Both 'users' are normal dropbox user account (not business type accounts).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The question is, its been a while since I tried using the dropbox linux stuff as found here:&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any limitations anyone wants to warn me about as compared to the win/apple versions?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I'm sure there are lots of issues, but only ones I think that might be a concern to me are performance related (slower then on mac/pc), or reliability issues not easily addressed by some process monitor or something.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Of course could implement what I'm thinking with a 'server' running osx/win but that's no fun, much rather spin up what I want to do using the latest dev methods on VM type worlds.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;--Brian&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Brian, the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API itself doesn't offer much in the way of interfacing with the official client unfortunately, so I don't have much to offer on that side,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. You could look into monitoring file events using fsnotify or fanotify or whatever the equivalent is on your system, and just look in the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also, for reference, if you haven't already found it, &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/linux-commands" target="_self"&gt;this help article&lt;/A&gt; may be helpful for using the Linux client.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And as far as limitations are concerned, I would also check out the "Case conflicts", "Beginning characters on Mac and Linux", and "Monitoring more than 10,000 folders on Linux" sections in &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/syncing-uploads/files-not-syncing" target="_self"&gt;this help article&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
