Good news for everyone, who missed an essential app for the Nokia N900. thanks to Jonnenau, whoi creates a DropBox app for the N900 based on Python: DropN900

here are the main features:

• - Login with your DropBox email and password, one time authentication. An oauth access token is used on later sessions. You can remove auth when you like and re-login with same or another DropBox account
• - Full DropBox access. Read/write to everything in your dropbox account
• - Create new folder, rename file/folder, upload file, download file, remove file/folder
• - Image file thumbnail preview, loading animations and showing results for actions
• - Threaded networking (non-bloking) so you'll have a smooth user experience while network I/O is happening

planned features:

• - Hold on items to get context menu, could possibly get rid of the big buttons.
• - Public links. This will come when DropBox adds this to their API. Presently there is no clean way getting public links via the API.
• - Better handling of network failures ie. you drop from network while browsing DropBox content.
• - UI improvements

this app is still in development and there are some issues known already:

• - Renaming items fails in /DropN900 folder
• - Upload/download of big files is unreliable

this app is based on python2.5 and you can download it with the app manager on your N900 directly from the Extras-Devel or install it via  x-term:

• sudo gainroot
• apt-get update
• apt-get install dropn900

thanks to gerry moth for pointing at that :-)
