After installation download the experimental build of Dropbox:
For X86 :
$wget -c http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-0.6.491.tar.gz
For x86_64 : 
$wget -c http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-0.6.491.tar.gz



                            OR 


put above URL in firefox for manual download

untar using following command:


$tar xzf dropbox-lnx.x86-0.6.491.tar.gz # or x86_64


Run:

Then tray icon will appear on top panel, right-click on it -> preferences -> Network proxy. then give your proxy details, close it.


Again run shell-script 'dropboxd' It will ask for your account detail, enter the same and you are done!!!


(NOTE: If not run properly logout after proxy setting and re-login and run shell script 'dropboxd' again.)
