Set up Dropbox

Install and authenticate dropbox as per Chapter 11, Obtain the encrypted cloud .

Set up whatever is needed for it to show up in the waybar. This produces inconsistent results even reboot to reboot, as well as muttered warnings about deprecated packages. Possibly: the ubuntu packages ayatana-desktop-indicator, libappindicator3-1, and possibly libappindicator3-dev.

Automate Dropbox in Sway

This is how to set up a user-specific automated systemd process, i.e., a way to replace startup scripts that used to live in /etc/init.d. This process should work for any user service; this example is for Dropbox. Stop any existing Dropbox processes and create a systemd user service. mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/ cp ~/Dropbox/Basic/new_machine/linux/config/dropbox.service ~/.config/systemd/user
