How to autostart Dropbox on Ubuntu

I downloaded Dropbox on Ubuntu following these steps on the Dropbox website.

Unfortunately, there is no option to autostart Dropbox for the version I downloaded (usually, you can set this in "Preferences" but there is no such check box..).

Fortunately, you can set this manually using Ubuntu's "Startup Applications", as follows:

Dash home --> Startup Applications --> Add --> Then enter the information below:

Name: Dropbox
Command: ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Comment: Autostart Dropbox Application

***Note: "Name" and "Comment" can be anything.

--> Save --> Close

That's it. Log-out or restart your computer to see if Dropbox starts up automatically.
