Before using it, note that the experimental builds may not work so be aware when using this script!

You can download Dbupdate from HERE (packages available for Debian / Ubuntu, Fedora, and basic shell script).

When installing both the core package and the integration package, Dbupdate will be added to your startup applications and will run when you start your computer, notifying you of any existing updates to Dropbox.

To manually run Dbupdate, after installing, enter this in a terminal:
dbupdate -h

to see all the available options.

-Check for updates:
dbupdate -c


-Peform update to the latest Dropbox experimental version, show graphical progress bar (also checks to see if running Dropbox 32 or 64 bit):
sudo dbupdate -rngcu auto

"-n" - use notifier, if installed (/usr/bin/notify-send)
"-g" - use graphical download progress indicator
