Caja-dropbox on ARM64 Devices?

Support & Help Requests Raspberry Pi
1

Hi -

I just recently installed Ubuntu MATE 20.10 on my RasPi 4B. I wanted to install caja-dropbox but don't see it in the Software Boutique and I tried installing it from the command line:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install caja-dropbox.

But it says unable to locate the package.

Is caja-dropbox available for ARM64 devices?

Thanks for your help!

John

Hi @John69 :slight_smile:

I don't have a RPi right now to try it, but I think this can work.

You can try building from source :

Good luck ! :slight_smile:

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I believe dropbox now only works on ext4 filesystems and maybe only x86 or x86-64 architectures, neither of which your Pi would likely meet

actually it does support more than just ext4, however it states clearly on the dropbox website that it does not support arm processors on linux, so my guess is as dropbox does not work which caja dropbox depends upon, it is not even available to install on arm architectures
