Installing Dropbox Brew can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've got you covered. You'll need to have Homebrew installed on your Mac, which is a package manager that makes installing software a breeze.
Dropbox Brew is a package that uses Homebrew to install Dropbox, and it's available on the official Dropbox GitHub repository. It's a great way to install Dropbox on your Mac without having to download the installer from the Dropbox website.
To get started, you'll need to open your terminal and run the command `brew install dropbox`. This will download and install Dropbox, including all the necessary components.
The installation process is relatively quick, and you'll be up and running with Dropbox in no time.
Installing Dropbox with Homebrew Cask
Installing Dropbox with Homebrew Cask is a bit different from installing it from a .dmg file.
Dropbox installs in /opt/homebrew-cask/Caskroom/dropbox/latest/Dropbox.app when installed with Homebrew Cask.
A symlink ~/Applications/Dropbox.app is created, but it's not visible in the Applications folder like a .dmg install.
To start Dropbox from the command line, you can use the Dropbox app directly from the Caskroom installation location.
You can also start Dropbox from the command line by using the open command, followed by the path to the Dropbox app.
Dropbox can be started from the command line using the open command, but it's not as straightforward as starting it from the Applications folder.
The Applications folder is where you'd normally expect to find installed apps, but Homebrew Cask installs them in a different location.
