DropboxMount turns your Dropbox into a live, on-demand drive instead of a sync folder.

DropboxMount turns your Dropbox into a live, on-demand drive instead of a sync folder. Instead of duplicating gigabytes of files onto your computer, it creates a special mount point that behaves like a network filesystem. Your Dropbox directory appears instantly, with all files and folders visible, but the contents are only downloaded when you open them. Saving changes writes them straight back to the cloud. This means you can browse your entire Dropbox without using up local disk space, and the experience feels closer to an NFS or WebDAV share than the heavyweight Dropbox desktop client. How to Set Up DropboxMount on Linux  This method uses FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) to mount Dropbox as if it were a local drive. The tool we use is rclone, which supports Dropbox natively.  1. Install rclone sudo apt update sudo apt install rclone 2. Configure Dropbox in rclone rclone config - Choose **n** for a new remote. - Name it something like `dropboxmount`. - Select `Dropbox` from t...

Vi and why it is great

  Vi (vim) Cheat Sheet This editor is a text editor available on all unix-like platforms, meaning any computer other than a windows computer, including from Sun, Apple, etc. Vi is also powerful for these reasons: 1. It can open any file of any size without crashing the computer 2. It does syntax highlighting for programming, meaning it's easier to read what programming codes you've done 3. It understands "regular expressions" which are ways of searching. So for example, in Word, if you search for "cat", it will return "cat" and "catheter" and "catastrophe", but that's it. In Vi you can match unspecific things like "???" which will find any three-letter word, and for example "?a?" will find "Cat", "sat", "mat". 4. It does not put carriage returns into files automatically. This is important to stop file corruption especially code files like DNA dat...
