Dropbox ServiceMenu is a servicemenu which allows easy access to most of Dropbox features. It uses Dropbox CLI to generate public urls, and pyndexer to allow sharing directories in public folder.
Features:
* Copy Public URL to clipboard
* Share folder (via web browser)
* Copy file/directory to public folder and paste the URL to clipboard
* Move file/directory to public folder and paste the URL to clipboard
* Support for sharing directories in public folder using pyndexer ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/552/pyndexer/index.html )
* Send generated public url via default email client and GMail (via webbrowser)
* View previous versions of file (via web browser)
* Encrypt directory listing with password (only works for directories in public folder)
* Automatic detection of Dropbox directory path
Installation:
1. Copy .desktop files to ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
2. Copy content of dropbox-script to your $PATH - e.g. /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
or run installation script (it will install scripts and .desktop files in ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus):
./install-it.sh
or if you're running Fedora:
1. Install following RPM http://magnu5.fedorapeople.org/repo/magnu5-1.0-1.fc13.noarch.rpm
2. Now run following command: su -c 'yum install dropbox-servicemenu'
Thanks to Magnus Tuominen for providing Fedora RPMs.
or if you're running openSUSE:
You can install dropbox-servicemenu from KDE:Extras repository.
Additional dependencies:
- dropbox
- klipper
- kdialog
- sqlite3
- python
- python-m2crypto (required for encrypting directory listing)
- xdg-utils
- uudecode (can be found in sharutils package)
- recode
- perl
Currently translated to following languages:
Fully translated: Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
Not fully translated: (.desktop files, dropbox_menu_translations.sh): Portuguese, Turkish
if you want to translate this servicemenu then feel free to contact me via private message.
KNOWN ISSUES: This servicemenu requires python2. If your distro uses python3 as main python binary then this servicemenu won't work. In order to make it work you'll have to do some "sed magic" e.g. sed 's/python/python2/g' on dropbox_menu.sh and .py scripts, assuming that your distro provides python version 2 as python2.

When are we likely to see an update to the servicemenu that will address this issue? - it has been a few years now.

Mine is located at /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/dropbox-scripts/dropbox-menu.sh.
Search this line (line 37 in my system):
dropbox_path=`${SCRIPTS_PATH}get_dropbox_folder.sh`
And change it to:
dropbox_path="$HOME/Dropbox"
Seems like Dropbox changed something and broke get_dropbox_folder.sh file, and when you try to move and generate public URL tries to move to /Public instead of ~/Dropbox/Public/
Please note this is just a workaround. If your Dropbox folder is not located in your home directory, just point to the correct path.
Probably is better explained here: http://chakraos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=82217#p82217

Just edit the *.desktop files in ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ replace 'kde4-config --localprefix' by ~./kde (The script tries to tell the kde service directory using kde4-config). Also, you have to copy dropbox-script to ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ (The installation instructions are wrong!!)

great job this service menu, but seems there are changings on Dropbox website.
If i rightclick on a folder in Dolphin that is shared and select "Dropbox / Share this folder..." then i get a 404 on the Dropbox Website. The url that will be opened:
https://www.dropbox.com/share_existing/path/to/shared/folder
You can rightclick on the Dropbox try icon and click on "Open Dropbox Folder", nautilus will start. Then you can also click on the shared folder and use "Share this folder.." and get to this url "https://www.dropbox.com/home/path/to/shared/folder" and the share option dialog will be automatically started..
Hpe this can help to improve Dolphin Dropbox ServiceMenu ;)

1) Edit the installed dropbox_menu.sh file with a Text Editor. My favorite is nano on the command line.
2) Look for the only text instance of "share_existing" (without the quotes) and replace it with "home" (again without the quotes)
3) Save the file with the original name and permissions.
4) You're done :)
