Ubuntu/Mint + Gnome + Nautilus Elementary + Dropbox Gallery Share + Cute Kittens

Just a video showing the image preview feature of Nautilus Elementary 2.32.2 and then the dropbox integration which allows you to share any folder or file on your computer instantly that is within your dropbox folder inside Nautilus by right clicking it and selecting dropbox and whatever option you choose.

Whatever files you keep in your dropbox folder are auto sync'd online and with any other computer which is linked to your dropbox account.. so you can access files from any computer or phone or from any browser.. You get 2GB of free storage. I couldn't survive without dropbox!

To update your Nautilus to elementary, do the following..

From terminal...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
nautilus -q

The last command "nautilus" just restarts "nautilus" so you can see the elementary updates..

To get the previews like in the video just press F4 to turn on/off or you can do it from the view menu.. If for any reason the preview doesn't work for you and you just see a blank area.. then do the following..

From terminal or whatever way you edit files

gksu gedit /etc/environment

Once opened, add this line..

export CLUTTER_VBLANK=none

Save and close and restart Nautilus again..

nautilus -q

If you still can't see the previews then restart your computer and it will be working.. For most people it works right away but for others a restart is in order.

Phew! Nautilus-Elementary revived in time for Ubuntu Natty
