I recently announced Dropbox availablity on Athena- the locker
maintainer has just informed me that if you are running this and your
AFS tokens expire, Dropbox's version of the files in your ~/Dropbox
directory may suddenly become empty (I'm not sure if the file lossage
propagates to other synchronized devices or not).
Consequently we don't recommend using Dropbox on Athena at this time.
