Installing Dropbox in Ubuntu 20.04

Posted on by

A very quick tutorial on installing Dropbox in Ubuntu 20.04. We will do everything from the terminal with a few simple commands.

First, we launch the terminal and create a repository.

We create a file from the Dropbox repo

1
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.list

And we paste the content:

1
deb [arch=i386,amd64] http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu disco main

save.

We add the GPG key to the system:

1
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912

If you get an error while adding the key:

1
gpg: keyserver receive failed: no keyserver available

We get it from another location:

1
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

We update the repositories database:

1
sudo apt update

We install Dropbox

1
sudo apt install python3-gpg dropbox

That's it 🙂
