This is interesting for me, too. I've been looking for a way to offer dropbox to the LTSP users and have it installed for them IF they wish.
Dropbox needs a user account on their server, of course, so it would be some kind of registering procedure included here. The first point I would have to make clear is whether the user has to register with Dropbox (via their website) prior to install on the LTSP system, or during my install-script-or-whatsoever under LTSP. (I do have another Linux and another Windows with my Dropbox account, but I don't remember if the installer can actually register the user. Do you know it?) Currently, I use Dropbox on the LTSP system, and the binaries are in a simple directory in my $HOME. I thought of making a copy of it in /opt or so. My install script could then make a symlink from the user's Autostart pointing to the binary. They could download and install it under Windows at home for themselves then. What do you think?
