You can mount your dropbox by using “Dbxfs” to mount Dropbox. Actually it is a command line dropboxclient, written for Python 3.5+.

It can installed using pip3 package manager. On Debian-based systems, run the following command to install FUSE:
$ sudo apt install libfuse2
On Fedora: $ sudo dnf install fuse

Once you installed all required dependencies, run the following command to install dbxfs utility:
$ pip3 install dbxfs —
When you get an error: lsb release -a returned-non-zero-exit-status-1 —
Just rename /usr/bin/lsb_release (or search where lsb_release file is, and rename it)

Create a mount point to mount your dropbox folder in your local file system.
$ mkdir ~/mydropbox
Then, mount the dropbox folder locally using dbxfs utility as shown below:
$ dbxfs ~/mydropbox
You will be asked to generate an access token: Generate access token 1 Generate access token To generate an access token, just navigate to the URL given in the above output from your web browser and click
Allow to authenticate Dropbox access.
You need to log in to your dropbox account to complete authorization process. Authorize dropbox Authorize dropbox. A new authorization code will be generated in the next screen. Copy the code and head back to your Terminal and paste it into cli-dbxfs prompt to finish the process. You will be then asked to save the credentials for future access. Type Y or N whether you want to save or decline. And then, you need to enter a passphrase twice for the new access token. Finally, click Y to accept “/home/username/mydropbox” as the default mount point. If you want to set different path, type N and enter the location of your choice. Generate access token 2 All done! From now on, you can see your Dropbox folder is locally mounted in your filesystem. Dropbox folder in file manager Dropbox folder in file manager Change Access Token Storage Path By default, the dbxfs application will store your Dropbox access token in the system keyring or an encrypted file. However, you might want to store it in a gpg encrypted file or something else. If so, get an access token by creating a personal app on the Dropbox developers app console. access token Create a new app on the DBX Platform Once the app is created, click Generate button in the next button. This access token can be used to access your Dropbox account via the API. Don’t share your access token with anyone. Create a new app Create a new app on the DBX Platform Once you created an access token, encrypt it using any encryption tools of your choice, such as Cryptomater, Cryptkeeper, CryptGo, Cryptr, Tomb, Toplip and GnuPG etc., and store it in your preferred location. Next edit the dbxfs configuration file and add the following line in it: “access_token_command”: [“gpg”, “–decrypt”, “/path/to/access/token/file.gpg”] You can find the dbxfs configuration file by running the following command: $ dbxfs –print-default-config-file For more details, refer dbxfs help section: $ dbxfs -h As you can see, mounting Dropfox folder locally in your file system using Dbxfs utility is no big deal. As far tested, dbxfs just works fine as expected. Give it a try if you’re interested to see how it works and let us know about your experience in the comment section below.
