Need help installing Dropbox on a Raspberry Pi
Hello guys,
I'm trying to install dropbox on my RPI 3 ModelB with Raspbian OS. I'm running the following commands.
pip install dropbox
sudo pip install dropbox
The dropbox gets successfully ...
You're right of course, Rich, I forgot that Raspberry doesn't run on a standard processor, and there is definitely no ARM implementation of the Dropbox app.
fadi, after glancing at some YouTube videos, it appears they're either using code from Github to directly upload files to the site without the use of an app, or using a service which emulates an x86 environment, to which the desktop app can be installed.
Hope that helps!

It's not just a distribution issue; it's mainly the processor. The Raspberry Pi uses an ARM processor, and Dropbox isn't compiled for the ARM processor.
There are no official Dropbox clients that will run on an RPi.
Hi Rich, I don't think so. I've seen videos for the Dropbox running on RPI. I'm not sure why i'm not able to do so though. Thanks

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the reply. I can't see the Dropbox application in the menu bar. When I try to run the command as per the link you've shared I get this.
dropbox: command not found
Any thoughts?
