1 - To execute this gist, run the line bellow in terminal:

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/maxwelleite/805f9fa03ca9814307e5/raw/dropbox-repository-installer.sh -q -O - | sudo bash

2 - To import our GPG keys into your apt repository (works even behind a proxy):

sudo -E apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 --recv-keys 5044912E

3 - Now update the repository and install the Dropbox:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dropbox

Enjoy!
