Which SL and which DropBox implementation are you using ?

The packages I've tried either on SL5 didn't install
or run daemons as root - which I consider totally unacceptable
on a multi-user system.

"Selective Sync" - which appears to be new since I looked at
DropBox - may be the answer, but there used to be a requirement
that you kept as much free disk space on your computer as your
DropBox account had. That is a major issue when the DropBox
default quota is larger than the default quota we give our users.
