+Dropbox folders explained.
+
+The package installs dropbox into /opt/dropbox/dropbox-lnx.<ARCH>-<VERSION>.
+When a user starts dropbox for the first time, this location serves as the
+application location (dist). This negates the need to download the entire
+client once per user.
+Dropbox client is self upgrading, and the next time a new version is released,
+each dropbox user will get a ~/.dropbox-dist that includes the new client.
+The next time that the user will start dropbox, it will start from the home
+dist. From that moment and as long as the user home dist remains, the client
+will start from it, not from /opt. Only users with no home dist folder (new
+user or deleted dist folder) will start the client from /opt.
