Dropbox installation fail on Raspberry Pi
 
I am using a Raspberry Pi as surveillance in a server room. The Raspberry have a python program running that put data into a googledocs-document every 5 minutes.

This works great, but I'd like to save the data on a device instead of only saving it on a server far away. Dropbox is my best alternative and since you can save the files in a folder on your desktop, and then pull them from there with another device.

I have found how to install the dropbox app but I have encountered a problem. As the link below says I have downloaded the tar-file from the link, and extracted it. But when I try running the setup-file an error-message is displayed:
/home/pi/.dropbox-dist/dropbox: 1: /home/pi/.dropbox-dist/dropbox: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

This is the Link to the website.

Code:

wget https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86

tar -zxvf download?plat=lnx.x86.1

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

Any suggestions on what I do wrong, or what I should do?

Thread is marked as being [SOLVED] and no solution is present.

@OP: Can you provide the solution so that others can also benefit from it?
