I would like to include the contents of my Dropbox folder in Gnome Documents. Obviously I need to include Dropbox in my on-line accounts. Anyone done this?
You can modify what directories you want tracker to harvest. In Fedora 19, Gnome3.8:
Settings > search > select documents and click the "settings" icon in the lower left corner. It will bring up a dialog like this where you can select what directories you want it to look at:
"GNOME Documents" includes the search feature. It really doesn't matter what mount point you use; the shell will handle it the same way as long as you specify where to look.
Thanks, that did it. Gaz

Maybe not what you are looking for, but what I do is to link
~/Documentsto~/Dropbox/Documents, vialn -s ~/Dropbox/Documents ~/Documents(backup and rename you~/Documents/*first). If that is too drastic, you can do the other way aroundln -s ~/Dropbox ~/Documents/Dropbox.I wouldn't suggest this. Please see my answer below.
