Dropbox

Install Dropbox and its Nautilus integration. This tag enables the required RPM Fusion repository.

ansible-playbook -i inventory -K playbooks/lab-stack.yml --tags dropbox

🔧 Manual setup and configuration

Start Dropbox and sign in deliberately. Account credentials and sync-folder choices are not automated.

✅ Check

rpm -q dropbox nautilus-dropbox

Keep the native Dropbox client as the recommended approach for workstations. It reacts automatically to filesystem changes and provides desktop integration, including visible sync status and interactive conflict handling.

rclone may be suitable when synchronization is explicitly scripted or scheduled, when working with multiple servers, remote storage providers, or headless systems, or when reproducible command-line automation matters more than desktop integration. It is an alternative for those workflows, not a replacement for this Dropbox setup.
