-dropboxannex 0.2.0
-=========
+For using Dropbox as a special remote, there are currently two choices:
 
-Hook program for gitannex to use dropbox as backend
-
-# Requirements:
-
-    python2
-    python-pkg-resources
-
-Credit for the Dropbox api interface goes to Dropbox.
-
-# Install
-Clone the git repository in your home folder.
-
-    git clone git://github.com/TobiasTheViking/dropboxannex.git 
-
-This should make a ~/dropboxannex folder
-
-# Setup
-Make the file executable, and link it into PATH
-
-    cd ~/dropboxannex; chmod +x git-annex-remote-dropbox; sudo ln -sf `pwd`/git-annex-remote-dropbox /usr/local/bin/git-annex-remote-dropbox
-
-# Commands for gitannex:
-
-    git annex initremote dropbox type=external externaltype=dropbox encryption=shared folder=gitannex
-    git annex describe dropbox "the dropbox library"
+* rclone supports the Dropbox API,
+  so the [[rclone_special_remote|special_remotes/rclone]] can be used.  
+  (Actively maintained)
+* Alternatively, there is a dedicated special remote,

-# Note
-
-This can also be accomplished through the [[special_remotes/webdav]] special remote as Owncloud and Nextcloud are basically webdav endpoints.
