I-MATH: Thinlinc

Disk usage of Dropbox is separated from I-MATH home quota.
The default disk quota for the thinlinx dropbox installation is 10GB. If you need more, please contact the IT-support.
Use the prepared dropbox installation: Applications > Internet > Dropbox
Please follow the installation steps carefully, to get a running dropbox installation.

End of 2018, dropbox limits the linux client to only operate on ext4 filesystem.
To fulfil the requirements with our thinlnc environment, we've prepared a workaround.
If you run into trouble during installation, please contact the IT-support.
Start: Applications > Internet > Dropbox.
If you start 'dropbox' the first time: you're asked for your I-MATH password - please provide.
The first start might take several minutes! Please be patient.
