Running Dropbox as a Virtual Machine

So I was finally able to run two instance of Dropbox on my computer.   I have my main one which I use for personal stuff, then my work one which is used at work.  I downloaded VirtualBox then installed lubuntu on it (making sure it had enough space to have all my work files in it) then I installed Dropbox there and synced it up.  From there I installed samba and shared the Dropbox folder on my network to my windows machine and now I can access my work files from home if I so choose.
