Dropbox + Ubuntu: update, icon replacement

Question

Icons

I will now ask stupid questions about Dropbox under Ubuntu. Who knows the answers, please help. I will be grateful.

1. How to update the Dropbox client under Ubuntu?
On the dropbox.com website it is written that the latest version for Linux is 1.0.20
. I see among the installed packages in my system:
Dropbox integration for nautilus v0.6.7 (nautilus-dropbox)
And in the properties of the dropbox itself I see: Dropbox v0. 7.110 Installed
i.e. It's clear that I don't have the latest version.

Their site says that, they say, if you install Dropbox from a .deb package, it will automatically add the Dropbox repository to the list of repositories. However, this did not happen.
Manually added to the list of repositories:

http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu maverick main

and also imported their public-key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5044912E
But even after that, trying to update Dropbox from the repository does not lead to anything:
sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade nautilus-dropbox
And silence, zero updates, as if there were no updates for Dropbox in the repository.

Checking the repository and downloading the latest .deb file from their site , it simply reinstalls the same version of nautilus-dropbox v0.6.7 already installed. The name of this .deb file also shows that this is nautilus-dropbox version 0.6.7, and not Dropbox v1.0.20 at all.

So how do you update Dropbox on Ubuntu?

2. How do I replace the notification area icons in Dropbox?
I want to put monochrome icons in the panel under the dark theme of Ubuntu Ambiance.
Created ~/.dropbox-dista subdirectoryiconsand threw in PNG files of monochrome icons, restarted Dropbox - there is no result.
I downloaded a certain script " install_dropbox_icons" to replace the Dropbox icons - it also writes that everything has been replaced, but the result is not visible.
They write on the Internet that in new versions of Dropbox, monochrome icons can somehow be selected directly in the dropbox settings, but it seems that new versions of Dropbox are not installed for me (see point 1).

Answer 1

Their repository contains Dropbox integration for nautilus (nautilus-dropbox), which is very rarely updated (it's just a menu for nautilus).
To update the Dropbox binary client itself, just run the following commands in the terminal:
$ dropbox stop
$ dropbox status #It should show "not running"
$ rm -r ~/.dropbox-dist/
$ dropbox start -i
Then the binary client will downloaded latest version.

Answer 2

Why put dropbox, is there ubuntu one?
