Not sure why this project is keen on calling itself Raspberry PI. There is nothing that makes this specific for the Raspberry, it's just a cursus based interface to Dropbox.

It's called Raspberry Cloud actually.

At the time there were no fully-featured Dropbox ports for the Raspberry Pi.

So seeing as how the main motivation was to make a Dropbox port for the Raspberry Pi community, I figured I'd put Raspberry in the name.

I was expecting something like OwnCloud, a true dropbox clone, which is fairly easy to install on a Pi...

Raspberry Cloud uses the Dropbox API, it isn't a clone. So you have the advantage of accessing your actual Dropbox folder. Plus it is fully featured media links, downloadable .zips and all.

It is easy to install as well :D
