Installation :
Download the closed source Dropbox Linux client from here (32 bit).
Extract the contents to your home folder.You will get a .dropbox-dist folder under your home directory (If not, move it to your home directory.The directory structure will look like : /home/YOURUSERNAME/.dropbox-dist/)
Now you can run dropbox via
$~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxdcommand.
Features that will not work with this method :
*Open my dropbox (Right click to Dropbox System Tray icon and Select Open My Dropbox) will NOT work since we do not have nautilus installed.
There is also a CLI tool which is written in pyton.It provides everthing that nautilus can do and it is located at here.

as a fan of dropbox, I think you should follow up this article of how to "mash" truecrypt with dropbox to make your dropbox secure. By creating a truecrypt file volume you now have a secure way for storing/synchronizing those files in the cloud.
I've never used dropbox but it the Open Dropbox command _might_ work if you made a link between dolphin to nautilus (or whatever dropbox is calling) to replicate the functionality in KDE.
