Hi again!
Are there any less-than-obvious tricks for installing Dropbox onto an antiX machine?
I've downloaded the deb file (dropbox_2015.10.28_amd64.deb) from the Dropbox page.
Should I do the install through the terminal instead?
Or can I just use $ sudo dpkg dropbox_2015.10.28_amd64 instead?
Thanks in advance.

I got it working.
Installing Dropbox from the menu worked fine.
Needed a nudge or two in the right direction (from skidoo) to figure out how to make it autostart.
I added this to ~/.desktop-session/startup
I had to look in /usr/bin/share/applications/dropbox.desktop
For some reason, if you type $ dropbox --help in the CLI, the help text does not show either"start" nor"'i".
But, once I did that, Dropbox starts up automatically as it should! Hooray!
