I'm running RELENG-8 and I've pulled together an initial skeleton for the 2 ports-to-be, that currently reside at: https://github.com/vassilisl/freebsd-dropbox They need some more testing regarding dependencies and some more investigation in where things need to be installed (mainly linux-dropbox part, the nautilus-dropbox is happy :-) ). It is using the Linux pre-built binaries that are provided with one part of the application; and run through Linuxulator (linux_base-f10) Unfortunally though, the thing does not work due to Linuxulator not emulating the inotify (in FreeBSD there is something similar: kqueue) :-( There have been discussions and some activity behind this though. (e.g. http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?page=2&id=5627) Never the less, I thought of dropping an email here to see if anyone else is interested, and maybe help with advice/pointers/info/code :-) Kind regards, Vassilis L.
