Share on Dropbox – Nautilus Script

To install this script just download the file , place it under your home ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts , make it executable and then kill nautilus. Below are copy&paste instructions to install from terminal

cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
wget "http://www.andreaolivato.net/Share on Dropbox"
chmod 755 "./Share on Dropbox"
killall nautilus

Please note that I manage duplicate files adding an incremental number to the name, after the full name (yep the extension too)
Below is the full source of the script, which is released under GPL v3 licence

This idea is not original, I took inspiration from the “Share on UbuntuOne” of ubuntu 10.4 and DropboxFolderSync for windows
