Well, maybe it's not inode/directory
Tho' you would think so.

jonesy@nix5:~$ xdg-mime query filetype Dropbox
inode/directory
jonesy@nix5:~$ xdg-mime query default inode/directory
konqueror.desktop

I think xdg-xxxxxx is a rabbit hole I don't want to bother going down.

I can live with Dropbox's other access options.

Thank you for your time, Nick!
