Ran into some issues, can I confirm what you said?

So I first installed dropbox according to dropbox instructions:

$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"; | tar 
xzf -

That completes ok...
Then they say:

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd    

I attempted this in the same Fedore template, is that correct? It installs but 
doesn't complete - it actually starts dropbox file synching.

I know you said that after I install according to your instructions to do:

    $ sudo dnf install nautilus-dropbox 

I assume that is also on the Fedora template?

I tried that with and without the last instruction from dropbox on the template.

Incidentally, I am able to successfully load dropbox and synch on any of my 
VMs... (of course I lose it when restart). So just need clarification on the 
template.

PS - I do not want Dropbox to start in a VM unless I tell it.

Thanks!
