I’ve installed the Dropbox CLI as described here [Download & Install the Dropbox Desktop App](https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx) on a DigitalOcean Droplet running Ubuntu 14.04 x64.

My Dropbox gets linked to my Server as intended but nothing is synchronized between the Dropbox and the Dropbox Folder on my Server. Any ideas where to search to resolve the issue ?

so i figured it out. i had to install the [dropbox.ps](http://dropbox.ps) script:

```
$ mkdir -p ~/bin  
$ wget -O ~/bin/dropbox.py "http://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py"  
$ chmod 755 ~/bin/dropbox.py  
$ ~/bin/dropbox.py help

```

and then activate autostart:

```
$ ~/bin/dropbox.py autostart y

```

May be usefull for someone with the same problem. [http://www.dropboxwiki.com/tips-and-tricks/install-dropbox-in-an-entirely-text-based-linux-environment#debianubuntu](http://www.dropboxwiki.com/tips-and-tricks/install-dropbox-in-an-entirely-text-based-linux-environment#debianubuntu)
