Dropbox Custom Component
This is a new "Custom Control" for ACT! (Windows) that adds dropbox integration to your layout window.
I know there is currently another "Plugin" out their that works as a Tab that was posted by Allen Duet (He's Back BTW!!! :-), but this is different in that it can be added to your list of custom controls when designing layout. It's very simple, you just drop the window on the layout similar to a field and resize it to desired size and tell it what local path you use to replicate dropbox (It's just a special windows folder). I have provided the code so you may have to update reference paths - but other than that you should build fine. The code is quite simple actually, so go ahead and enhance! My first change would be to add some navigation controls so you could move between folders (Although that takes away from dropbox arguably). Also, Try to make it support web! Heck, give mobile a shot if you like for that matter.
Anyway, hope this helps.

I did NOT work for me either.
The reference to the controls ContextMenu is null throwing an error on init.
Make these changes and recompiler.
public DropBoxViewer() :base()
{
InitializeComponent();
webBrowser1.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
// ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Go up directory"));
webBrowser1.ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Go up directory"));
webBrowser1.IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled = true;
//ContextMenu.MenuItems[0].Click += new EventHandler(DropBoxViewer_Click);
webBrowser1.ContextMenu.MenuItems[0].Click += new EventHandler(DropBoxViewer_Click);
}
