how to disable nautilus-dropbox in KDE?

  • 772

On Ubuntu 12.10 64bit I additionally installed kubuntu-desktop. I installed dropbox in Unity to use it there with nautilus. In Kde this is not the wanted behavior so I installed the dropboxd - Daemon and enabled it to autostart in KDE. But the nautilus-dropbox applet is always started in addition to the daemon.

How can I make sure that there is ONLY the dropboxd running and NOT the nautilus-dropbox when I use KDE and When using Gnome I llike to use nautilus-dropbox?

plz note that there is no setting for nautilus-dropbox in KDE autostart applications!

Maybe there is a way to install two versions and make sure only the right one is started with each desktop environment?

gnome

  1. This is from a quick Google search and is a bit old, but http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/01/17/install-dropbox-on-kubuntu-kde-without-nautilus/ covers how to install Dropbox and get it working w/o all the dependencies and the notifier running. Might still work for you.

  2. Right click in the applet, Preferences/General and disable Start Dropbox on system startup.
