Dropbox over server

Well, I had some failures in the past. So, I wanted to try again.
First, I had to run headless install via command line.
Then ran the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
That got me a unique link to link dropbox account to cloud.
Then I got the dropbox.py code from the help page (https://www.dropbox.com/install?os=lnx)
Rest was not bad!
Here are some of the commands that I had to run... because I wanted to exclude bunch of folders from syncing. I wish there was "include" option instead of "exclude".

~/bin/dropbox.py exclude add ~/Dropbox/MyExclude1 ~/Dropbox/MyExclude2 

~/bin/dropbox.py exclude list 

~/bin/dropbox.py help ~/bin/dropbox.py status ~/bin/dropbox.py start
