The Dropbox daemon works fine on all 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers. To install, run the following command in your Linux terminal.
32-bit:
$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -
64-bit:
$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.
$ ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Tip:
If you're running Dropbox on your server for the first time, you'll be asked to copy and paste a link in a working browser to create a new account or add your server to an existing account. Once you do, your Dropbox folder will be created in your home directory. Download this CLI script to control Dropbox from the command line. For easy access, put a symlink to the script anywhere in your PATH.

Context - Affects MATLAB 2012b and earlier, with the Java for OS X 2013-004 update - The original update gives build 1.6.0_51-b11-456-10M4508 - This can be verified by running the command below in terminal and comparing the build
$ java -version
Good:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-11M4509)

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-456-10M4508)

SOLUTION - Apple's update has been fixed, however, it is not being pushed via updates to clients already affected. It is now safe to update via the Appstore, Java for OS X 2013-004 is the package. - If you are stuck on version 10M4508, you can manually update:
