I don't really remember but I have nautilus-dropbox installed so I suppose I used that. I also use KDE and apparently some Gnome stuff so it was not such a big deal for me. It didn't want to install Mono which is where I draw the line. :-) I do understand your reluctance to install lots of packages you don't really need but I'm afraid I can't help you there. Perhaps you can see if it's possible to just install libnautilus-extension? As far as I can tell, things work fine from the CLI. There does not appear to be any real dependency on Nautilus.
