Hi there!
Managed to get the Dropbox Daemon installed, contents of my Dropbox file downloaded and synced.
No problems there.

However, I can't seem to get Dropbox to start up with an antiX session.
I tried adding "dropbox &" to the ~/.desktop-session, but that didn't do anything either.

In fact, when I try $ dropbox in the terminal, all I get is the help file, no matter what parameter I type in.

Any tips?
I'm running antiX 16.1 (64 bit) on an ASSUS X55U.

Thanks in advance!

idunno the name of the dropbox executable.
Try using these commands in a terminal emulator to find it
apropos dropbox
and/or
sudo updatedb && locate dropbox
or, launch synaptic and (providing the Preferences}}ShowPackageDetailsInMainWindow is checkmarked) search for dropbox
and right-click its listing. Refer to the"Installed Files" tab in the bottom-right synaptic Details pane & discover the
path to the installed dropbox executable

If you know the exact packagename (package might not be named"dropbox"), can call up a list of installed files from commandline, using dkpg-query
dpkg-query -L packagename

Hello again skidoo!

Another nudge in the right direction! __{{emoticon}}__

I looked through the package information through synaptic, as suggested.
Found the file /usre/bin/share/applications/dropbox.desktop and found the crucial command: I ran that from the command line, and voilà! It worked.

Odd thing was, though, that neither start nor -i showed up as options when I tried $ dropbox --help
Oh well. At least now I know how to get it started!
I put that useful command into ~/.desktop-session

Thanks again for the help!

ok, thanks for following up to report the solution

Just part of the learning curve, I reckon!
