I was wondering if you can use dropbox to make a 24/7 minecraft server. Does anyone know?

Do you not need the server to be running?
ie actually have executable code using system resources.
Dropbox is just a file hosting service, with a client side UI, so any code you run from your dropbox only runs on your machine.

I want it so that the server is up when my computer is off.
