I recently updated my main machine to Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 beta. The version of Dropbox I had with Intrepid stopped working after the update. To get it to work I performed the following steps in the terminal. (The following steps work on x86. For x86_64, the steps will be the same, but using different files):
1. Download and install Dropbox deb (32 or 64 bit) for Intrepid if you don't already have it running. (Note: Don't restart Nautilus)
https://www.getdropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx
2. Download experimental build of Dropbox
cd ~
wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-0.6.491.tar.gz
3. Extract experimental build of Dropbox
rm -r .dropbox-dist/
tar xzf dropbox-lnx.x86-0.6.491.tar.gz
4. Restart Nautilus
killall nautilus
5. Connect Dropbox to your Dropbox account.
It should start working when nautilus is restarted.

Any Idea?
You need to go back and retry
You need to go back and retry the steps again. You are attempting to execute a file, which is not one of the steps. Basically what we are doing in these steps is to replace files from the old Intrepid package with the new files from the experimental build. I guarantee you if you follow those steps exactly it will work.
