Thanks. Will doing this prevent Synaptic from auto-updating in future?

The links on the site are malformed but anyone wanting to download can use these links instead:

32 bit: Download (http://www.getdropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86)

64 bit: Download (http://www.getdropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64)

For KDE users this download is also a must have: Dropbox service menu (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Dropbox+ServiceMenu?content=124416)

Since this isn't the debian package you most likely have installed I think downloading and installing dropbox in this manner will be separate from the version you see in synaptic.
