Debian 10 - Install Dropbox CLI

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -

Then run the dropbox daemon:

. /$HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

After a few seconds it will keep repeating the following message:

This computer isn't linked to any Dropbox account...
Please visit https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to link this device.

Navigate to that URL in your browser and enter your dropbox username and password.

Once you have done that, you will see this message:

This computer is now linked to Dropbox. Welcome [Your Name Here]

That will setup a folder in your home directory called Dropbox with all your dropbox files syncing to it.
