Hack to make Dropbox work on non-ext4 filesystems
Dropbox ext4 Hack
Gets around Dropbox dropping support for non-ext4 filesystems by wrapping the statfs64 function and overwriting the filesystem type.
Install the pre-built hack
Just run:
sudo ./fix_dropbox.py
dropbox stop
dropbox start
It will install the hack into /usr/local/. You can modify fix_dropbox.py to customize that.
Install from source
Make sure you have GCC installed and run the following:
make
sudo make install
Check that $PATH is set up properly. This should show /usr/local/bin/dropbox:
which dropbox
Restart Dropbox:
dropbox stop
dropbox start
Uninstall
sudo make uninstall
