              Prints the current status of each FILE.

              options:
                -l --list  prints out information in a format similar to ls. works best when your console supports color :)
                -a --all   do not ignore entries starting with .

              Aliases: stat

       dropbox ls [FILE]...
              This is an alias for filestatus -l

       dropbox autostart [y/n]
              options:
                n  dropbox will not start automatically at login
                y  dropbox will start automatically at login (default)

              Note: May only work on current Ubuntu distributions.

       dropbox exclude [list]dropbox exclude add [DIRECTORY] [DIRECTORY] ...
              dropbox exclude remove [DIRECTORY] [DIRECTORY] ...

              "list" prints a list of directories currently excluded from syncing.
              "add" adds one or more directories to the exclusion list, then resynchronizes Dropbox.
              "remove" removes one or more directories from the exclusion list, then resynchronizes Dropbox.
              With no arguments, executes "list".
              Any specified path must be within Dropbox.

       dropbox lansync [y/n]
              options:
                y  dropbox will use LAN sync (default)
                n  dropbox will not use LAN sync
