Dropbox cannot work properly on Gnome 42. The icon on the top bar is not clickable so the preferences cannot be managed.

@mtorromeo: Could you add the argument -f to the gendesk so that previous .desktop files are overwritten? That solves @jfly's problem.
jfly commented on 2021-11-30 02:49 (UTC) (edited on 2021-11-30 02:51 (UTC) by jfly)
Anyone else seeing this error when installing?

I've worked around this for now by commenting out the prepare block.

@acyment: The dropbox-lnx.x86_64-130.4.4978.tar.gz file didn't pass the validity check. Try pulling the AUR repo again, run makepkg again, see if that works.
If not, run makepkg --geninteg and compare the sha256sums with the ones in the PKGBUILD.

works. Can the PKGBUILD be updated with this?

brandon.arnold commented on 2020-08-26 19:23 (UTC)
@wooque I guess the dropbox tray picks up different methods of showing generating the sign in link, then, depending on the environment. For me, it did not work until I installed Qt5, and qt5-base is one method out of quite a few of doing that. I'm sure GTK is also adequate.
wooque commented on 2020-08-26 07:46 (UTC)
I don't have qt5-base neither and I just successfully signed in my account
brandon.arnold commented on 2020-08-26 05:29 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-26 05:29 (UTC) by brandon.arnold)
I recommend adding qt5-base as a dependency. The Sign In dialog doesn't work without Qt5, which I just learned trying to get this package to work in my i3 system tray.

@eisterman This exact issue has already been explained to the maintainer, who refuses to fix this problem. The maintainer of this package seems to believe, incorrectly, that the -f flag is not what people want.

Something wrong with /usr/bin/dropbox symlink, but i have no idea whats wrong. I get error:

eisterman commented on 2020-07-02 00:14 (UTC) (edited on 2020-07-02 00:14 (UTC) by eisterman)
In PKGBUILD, prepare(), if it already finds the existing dropbox.desktop file, rather than overwriting because it already exists, it raise an error, which often happens if an installation has abnormally crashed before.
In particular, line 45 should be replaced with
gendesk -f --pkgname="$pkgname" --pkgdesc="$pkgdesc" --categories=Network PKGBUILD
adding the flag -f to overwrite the dropbox.desktop file during preparation.

I have the imported the right keys (as mentioned in the pinned comment). Any help?
ranger commented on 2020-06-05 14:55 (UTC)
@nthorderindex, maybe you should try to install without any aur helpers? To see if the problem is with your system or with the aur helper
nthorderindex commented on 2020-06-05 14:48 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-05 14:51 (UTC) by nthorderindex)
@gothicVI I'm using aura, which needs to be run as root when installing packages. I've installed this package before using aura without an issue, I'm just trying to upgrade (97.4.467-1 -> 98.4.158-1). I tried using pikaur instead and the check passed, so it does seem to be an issue with aura though and not actually with this package.
EDIT: In case anyone else has this problem, it's solved by using sudo -E rather than just sudo. Explanation in the aura changelog here: https://github.com/fosskers/aura/blob/master/aura/CHANGELOG.md#311-2020-06-02
gothicVI commented on 2020-06-05 05:34 (UTC) (edited on 2020-06-05 05:34 (UTC) by gothicVI)
@nthorderindex what's the exact command you're using to install dropbox in the first place?
If you're running, e.g., pikaur or yay do not run them as root.
nthorderindex commented on 2020-06-04 21:00 (UTC)
Not sure what to make of this — I've imported the key (and it shows up in the output of gpg -k) but am currently getting a "PGP signatures could not be verified" error:

jerz4evr commented on 2020-05-31 02:30 (UTC) (edited on 2020-05-31 02:39 (UTC) by jerz4evr)
An single command to fix the errors with file signature verification as referenced by yan12125's comment is the following:
curl https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc | gpg --import
This is especially helpful if you keep getting the following error when trying to use gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E:
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

@Groumpf: Thanks a lot! That actually does the trick...
Groumpf commented on 2020-05-21 15:54 (UTC)
@gothicVI: I accidentally ran pikaur as root and got your error message. Try running pikaur as a normal user.
gothicVI commented on 2020-03-30 12:26 (UTC)
Running makepkg and makepkg --install on the snapshot did the trick. There seems to be something wrong with pikaur I'll need to investigate...

@jomority No problem, it would be unreasonable to require everybody to read hundreds of comments before posting anything. Maybe we (I, at least) should add a few notes about the Dropbox startup process to the Wiki.
jomority commented on 2020-01-24 17:17 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 17:20 (UTC) by jomority)
@fra-san Ah, sorry, I was not aware that it was already proposed.
So, it looks like currently, no easy solution for all setups is possible. It could maybe be solved by a wrapper script, but really the starting process should be standardized upstream.
The %h is on me. I didn't test it with the system unit. I used it because homes can be in other locations than /home/$USER. It seems like there is no easy solution for instantiated units for that case.
And I forgot, that I symlinked .dropbox to .local/share/dropbox.
So next time I will think longer and search harder, before I post here.
fra-san commented on 2020-01-24 16:39 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 16:59 (UTC) by fra-san)
@jomority Something like that has been proposed in late 2018, see this comment by soderstrom.
Unfortunately it doesn't work in some configurations, as I pointed out back then. The dropbox process only forks if it can find a new version online. This is usually true if you haven't opted out from the "Early releases" program. If a new version cannot be found, the process does not fork, systemd assumes something went wrong (when a timeout is hit), kills it and starts a new instance. In a loop. This issue may be possibly worked out, but any solution will have to be thoroughly tested before it can be added to the package.
As an aside: %h in system units (dropbox@) resolves to /root; (at least on my system) the pid file's full path has to be /home/%I/.dropbox/dropbox.pid.
jomority commented on 2020-01-24 15:35 (UTC)
I have another solution for using the dropbox service (referencing the pinned comment of yan12125 from 2018-08-01). Override the unit with:
[Service]
# Fix successful start not detected
SuccessExitStatus=SIGKILL
# Fix stopping and detection of running status and main process
Type=forking
PIDFile=%h/.local/share/dropbox/dropbox.pid
You can override this with systemctl --user edit dropbox or sudo systemctl edit dropbox@ depending on if you are using the user service.
Maybe the package sources could also be updated.
dlezo commented on 2020-01-11 13:56 (UTC)
I'm also constantly having that message about using -f in gendesk. I know very little about PKGBUILD files, but I can assure that I only have this issue with this Dropbox build file, and it happens everytime I update Dropbox. The rest of the packages I have installed don't complains about using -f with gendesk or need any kind of special attention. I really appreciate the work of the maintainers of this package, but having to update it in a different way than others is not user friendly. Some users like myself would prefer to simplify everything as much as possible when update their systems.

You are right, it's not correct because it's not failing for me. But it is correct because it is as the official guideline describes. It fails if you don't clear your build path. The wiki says you should clean the build path. Clean your build path.
thebombzen commented on 2019-12-11 23:34 (UTC)
@ranger
Just because it's never failed for you does not mean it is correct. If it fails for other people it's not all those users' responsibility to fix something that you close as "worksforme."
Also this has nothing to do with the --noextract option.
asakurahao commented on 2019-12-09 23:07 (UTC)
Similar to @rohit275, my dropbox was running pretty well until last weak. Now it is showing "connecting". I know it is not the network because I'm running other two "clouds" in the same computer and I have the dropbox in a windows computer at the "same network". Could someone help me, please?
ranger commented on 2019-12-04 09:11 (UTC)
@nyanpasu64,
The PKGBUILD as it is now, without what you call "the obvious fix" has never failed for me.
It's the user that has to take care of this, not the PKGBUILD. For example, if you add "the obvious fix" it will be impossible to use the --noextract option while building. Using the -c option is what the wiki suggests.
nyanpasu64 commented on 2019-12-04 05:52 (UTC)
overwriting generated files shouldn't be in the PKGBUILD, because not everyone wants this. If you want to run makekpg again and overwrite the files use makepkg --cleanbuild
When doing the obvious thing to upgrade dropbox, makepkg fails with an error. If you don't want to add the obvious fix, can you catch this particular error message and suggest running makepkg --cleanbuild or makepkg -src instead?
ranger commented on 2019-11-22 19:42 (UTC)
@ thebombzen,
overwriting generated files shouldn't be in the PKGBUILD, because not everyone wants this. If you want to run makekpg again and overwrite the files use makepkg --cleanbuild
Or even better, run makepkg -src when every time you run build a package, so you won't have any leftover files.
thebombzen commented on 2019-11-22 14:12 (UTC)
Can we add the -f argument to gendesk located in prepare() of PKGBUILD? If you run makepkg more than once, gendesk will refuse to overwrite the previously generated desktop file and exit with failure, causing the build to abort. Using -f will just tell it to overwrite the file if it exists.

Zwenn76 commented on 2019-11-03 09:07 (UTC)
It seems like as soon as there is a new version and this package gets flagged out of date I am having trouble with my installed version. My CPU is running high and htop shows that in /.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-84.4.170 there are several version of /newversion running. So it seems that dropbox is aware that there is a newer version and starts complaining. I can only stop the daemon than. Is anyone facing the same issue?
rohit275 commented on 2019-11-02 00:46 (UTC)
I have been struggling with all the tips on the Arch Wiki as well as comments in this thread and have been unable to start my dropbox installation on a fresh Arch install. Previously was running into the same issues on Manjaro, where dropbox used to work fine before recent updates. The program seems to be eternally "connecting" even with a fresh install on a new arch install, and I am never able to log in or interact with the program at all. Has anyone else been having these issues? So far no solution has worked for me.

@fra-san Here is a link to deb https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/ubuntu/dropbox_2019.02.14_amd64.deb Also this page (https://www.dropbox.com/desktop) says that "The new desktop experience will be updated for Dropbox desktop users over the next few weeks." https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/desktop-application-overview
UPDATE: yes, you are right. it seems it contains "a command-line tool and a Nautilus extension that integrates the Dropbox web service with your GNOME Desktop."

@DenisBY It looks like 2019.02.04 is the latest version of nautilus-dropbox, not that of Dropbox itself.
The list of Dropbox builds at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/bd-p/101003016 confirms that the one linked in the "Source" section above (82.4.155) is the most recent stable one.

Hi, The tray icon does not work well for me. It does appear, and it changes to the "syncing" icon for a short time, then goes back to normal. I cannot click on it (left/right) - no menu is ever shown, so I cannot interact with the dropbox program.
nTia89 commented on 2019-09-17 08:40 (UTC) (edited on 2019-09-23 07:25 (UTC) by nTia89)
I have an issue with SVG icon provided:
I used to change default icon with the SVG icon for my Dropbox folder.
Since last pacman upgrade file manager is no more able to show the SVG and thus place a blank icon in place of that.
Now, I think SVG we provide has a problem, because opening and saving it with Inkscape or LibreOffice Draw, makes it "working" again.
Now, I am not an expert but size before and after that re-saving changes from 605 Bytes to 4.9 KB and it's strange... maybe we provide a malformed SVG? because also the thumbnail os SVG itself is empty but image viewer opens it correctly!
EDIT: also .desktop icon fails to load: I use gnome-shell and icon disappeared from the launcher (but I can still launch it normally)
EDIT2: here is a screenshot [https://imgur.com/a/0okULXY]

If the 'prepare' section is re-ran without first cleaning out the build directory, the gendesk command errors:
dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to gendesk to overwrite.
Please add the '-f' argument.

Thaodan commented on 2019-05-01 16:39 (UTC)
Why libappindicator-gtk3 for plasma? Plasma supports the StatusNotifer spec out of the box and dropbox is no GTK app.

jahismighty commented on 2019-04-19 14:43 (UTC)
@acdw: as a hacky workaround you can modify PKGBUILD and add the specified flag (-f) to the gendesk command in the prepare() function.
Morganamilo commented on 2019-04-11 20:36 (UTC)
mksrcinfo is old and defunct but still being used on this package. This means some fields like pgp keys don't show up in the srcinfo even though they should.
Please use makepkg --printsrcinfo instead.
acdw commented on 2019-04-11 12:27 (UTC)
I get the following error when trying to install:
dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to gendesk to overwrite.
It's during the prepare() stage of installation. It aborts the install.

@leonardof The last file is already removed in commit 3db0f6a54245. That's one of reasons I suggest people to clean AUR package repos before building packages.
leonardof commented on 2019-03-16 21:08 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer, @yan12125. I never knew extra-x86_64-build existed, let alone that it was the recommended command for building packages from AUR.
With regard to copying, I just presumed the file on outside src/ was a copy because there is another one inside:
$ find . -name dropbox.desktop
./pkg/dropbox/usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop
./src/dropbox.desktop
./dropbox.desktop
yan12125 commented on 2019-03-16 15:57 (UTC)
The best way is extra-x86_64-build. If you want to stick with makepkg, clean the folder first. For example, git pull && git clean -dfx && makepkg.
By the way, dropbox.desktop is generated by gendesk. I'm not sure what you mean by "copying over the file from within src/".
leonardof commented on 2019-03-16 13:21 (UTC)
I don't use any AUR helper: I have a clone of <https://aur.archlinux.org/dropbox.git> where I run git pull, makepkg and pacman -U to update the package. That't the recommended way, right?
For a while now, makepkg fails because of a leftover dropbox.desktop. I have to delete the file, which is again copied from src/ by makepkg, and again I have to delete the file the next time I update.
Please stop copying over the file from within src/, or at least make it so that the package can be updated without the user manually deleting the file.
Thanks in advance!
yan12125 commented on 2019-03-15 03:15 (UTC)
Sorry for the last unnecessary pkgrel bumping - there's a bug in my script and I've fixed it.
@zman0900: That's a bug of pacaur - report it there. @syrenity: Are you using proxychains with dropbox? If so it's a known issue [1] and I think only Dropbox developers can fix it.
zman0900 commented on 2019-03-14 21:21 (UTC)
Could the gendesk command be moved to a build() function? Some aur helpers (pacaur at least) do not install makedepends until after prepare() has been ran, so prepare() fails if I don't manually install gendesk first.

Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."
gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E
Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:
gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc
You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of gpg -k. You should find something like this:
pub rsa2048 2010-02-11 [SC]
1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

Install this package if you need to run dropbox on a non-ext4 filesystem: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox-fix/
This should work when running dropbox from the command line and as a service.
alex.forencich commented on 2018-12-28 22:14 (UTC)
Yeah, I suppose that's a good point, it would be possible to make a separate package that provides the .so file, the override wrapper script, and the override systemd unit file.
yan12125 commented on 2018-12-19 08:24 (UTC)
Regarding incompatibility with non-EXT4 filesystems: I don't think using existing "patches" [1][2] requires modifications to this package. Propose your modified PKGBUILD if you believe so.

Is it OK to keep this newer version?

@yan1212 thanks for the reply. After much research i found out its actually a dropbox/gnome issue. It has been broken since gnome 3.28.

yan12125 commented on 2018-11-13 12:07 (UTC)
@ncage: most likely you need to install optional dependencies of this package - perl-file-mimeinfo and/or xdg-utils. Running dropbox from a terminal should help you diagnose the problem, too.
ncage commented on 2018-11-13 02:00 (UTC)

alex.forencich commented on 2018-11-08 07:33 (UTC)
This should be incorporated in to this package to keep dropbox working on non-ext4 filesystems: https://github.com/dimaryaz/dropbox_ext4 .
t.langlois commented on 2018-10-24 09:34 (UTC)
I'm receiving an advice from Dropbox in order to put the Dropbox folder on an ext4 partition but it is already the case. Is it a glitch in their type of partition detection scheme or are they sending this to all users ? If this is not the right place for this kind of question, tell me.
yan12125 commented on 2018-10-18 11:45 (UTC)
Thanks @fra-san for various test results. I'll keep this package as-is - no dropping dropbox@.service, no changes to dropbox.service.

I'm really interested in keeping dropbox running smoothly, so I kept playing with the patches proposed by soderstrom and yan12125.
I found an issue with systemd units that use Type=forking: if you opt out from Dropbox's "Early releases" program (i.e. from using beta and experimental version) and you install the latest stable version, then at startup dropbox can't find a new version and doesn't fork, making the systemd service hit a timeout and fail. The service, then, restarts itself, times out again, and... you know.
It looks like Type=simple with disabled automatic updates is the only configuration that works in the most common scenarios.
fra-san commented on 2018-10-09 18:00 (UTC) (edited on 2018-10-10 09:18 (UTC) by fra-san)
@soderstrom
Just one point: it might be useful to point out that your proposal requires ~/.dropbox-dist to be writable, otherwise the start job fails and dropbox is caught in a restart loop. I don't completely like the idea of having unavoidable automatic updates, but if it's ok for other users I'll live with it.
EDIT: Sorry, I should have been more precise. I can only confirm the aforementioned error if ~/.dropbox-dist is created with permissions = 000 as suggested in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox. Not sure about a read-only ~/.dropbox-dist with something inside it.
johannes87 commented on 2018-10-06 17:08 (UTC)

I'd like to drop dropbox@.service in favor of dropbox.service to fix https://gitlab.com/yan12125/aur/issues/23. Please leave comments there if you object.
<del>I'll carry out the change if no one objects in two weeks.</del>
UPDATE: as mentioned by Francesco Sanesi, dropping dropbox@.service might break multi-user scenarios. I'll postpone the original plan.
soderstrom commented on 2018-09-01 14:46 (UTC) (edited on 2018-09-01 23:21 (UTC) by soderstrom)
@yan12125
Here is a permanent fix for dropbox service reloading.
Dropbox actually works correctly by forking itself, and it even gives us ~/.dropbox/dropbox.pid so systemd can know which process id to track.
There were some minor issues with dropbox return SIGKILL between process which really doesn't work with restart=on-failure alone. Therefore, SuccessExitStatus for SIGKILL was needed. Finally I also noticed that dropbox doesn't properly clean up (i.e. removing the dropbox.pid file from last session) so had to add an ExecStopPost command for that.
You can see all of this here
This way automatic updates works again an you no longer need to make ~/.dropbox-dist read-only.
One concern I have is haven't tested this for default.target only for the multi-user.target, so might be worth checking out.
Also note that, be a journal entry of the form "dropbox@$USER.service: Can't open PID file /home/$USER/.dropbox/dropbox.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or director"
This is because dropbox takes longer than some timeout before creating the dropbox.pid file. Essentially it is triggering because of the "yet" part of that message. The line after will be "Started Dropbox" and everything is fine.
At least the ground labor is done now.
Enjoy your day.

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

After two days, there are still no news about 49.4.68 on https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/bd-p/101003016, and https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 still points to 48.4.58. I guess Dropbox engineers do not consider 49.4.68 ready yet, so unflag out-of-date.

I am using Gnome and have dropbox installed. since Gnome 3.26 there is no system tray anymore, thus there also is no dropbox status icon anymore.
When I wanted to open the dropbox settings, previously i went to the status icon, right clicked it and selected "preferences". This is not possible anymore. Trying to open it via the icon in the application menu just starts the application.
Is there any way the dropbox settings can be accesed in Gnome 3.26? Please let me know if I overlooked something.

Using Xfce and same thing happening here. Dropbox automatically sets itself to autostart regardless of the option I choose.
Solved it (temporarily) by creating an empty dropbox.desktop file in .config/autostart and setting it as immutable with chattr +i

@renatocan:

That's funny, I have the same issue with cinnamon. My desktop does not show the icon, but my laptop does (both cinnamon, same version), while KDE always shows the icon.
It would be nice to find a workaround for hidden tray icons.
renatocan commented on 2017-09-28 01:34 (UTC)
I am also having a similar problem to the one mentioned by @dedfed. I use XFCE and although the startup option is disabled in Dropbox, the autostart file is created and it starts but the icon is not showed in system tray. The synchronization works but, to have the icon showed, I have to kill dropbox process and open it again.
I could only make the icon work when starting xfce by creating a script with a "sleep 15" before calling dropbox. However, after dropbox is initialized the first time it creates a new autostart file which breaks this solution (since dropbox starts without the icon before my script is called).
The problem started since last update. However, it occurs only on my desktop and not on my laptop.
Thanks,
Renato.

@dedfed: sounds the reverse of an older bug. @coxackie's comment on 2017-08-16 16:42 and my comment on 2017-08-19 18:15 may help.
dedfed commented on 2017-09-27 07:02 (UTC)
I have a problem with xfce4 where i have the startup option disabled but every time i start my laptop dropbox starts.
I have also looked in "Session and startup" settings but disabling or deleting
the dropbox entry does not seem to work as dropbox reactivates/ recreates the
entry every time i start it.
I have also tried to add "Hidden=true" on my dropbox.desktop file, but this
seemed to work only until the next update.
rabarrett commented on 2017-09-25 05:42 (UTC)
Thank you so much yan!
I didn't think about the fact that I crashed a couple of days ago while updating. Seems I have a regular problem crashing whenever I'm copying a large file to a USB. I've searched all over and tried copying with different things (rsync, pycp, etc.), but nothing seems to work. And since my forum searches keep turning up nothing on the issue, I'm not sure how to solve the large copy problem.
But at least dropbox is working again. Much appreciated.

@rabarrett: the checksum is correct. Most likely you got a broken file (partial downloads, etc.) Try to delete existing dropbox-lnx.x86_64-35.4.20.tar.gz and install again.

As knewstuff itself doesn't work, it's not a dropbox issue but a knewstuff one. Mailing lists, IRC channels or forums are better places for this problem.

xdg-utils should probably be added as a dependency, as without it Dropbox won't open my browser to let me log in unless I set the BROWSER environment variable manually.
yan12125 commented on 2017-08-19 18:15 (UTC)
@coxackie: I can confirm the same issue on LXQt - seems a dropbox bug. A workaround is rename the startup file in ~/.config/autostart/ from dropbox.desktop to something else.
Technically, dropbox checks a preference item `startupitem` when it's started, and ~/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop is deleted if `startupitem` is not set.
coxackie commented on 2017-08-16 16:42 (UTC)
I am experiencing a weird bug with Dropbox v32.4.23 on Gnome. I add dropbox.desktop to ~/.config/autostart/ in order to get it to autostart (either via Gnome Tweak Tool or manually copying it from /usr/share/applications). Whenever I start Dropbox, it deletes the dropbox.desktop file from ~/.config/autostart/.
I have also noticed that the option "Start Dropbox on system startup" from Dropbox preferences is always unticked when Dropbox starts, even if I have enabled it previously. Potentially this is to blame? Anyone else experiencing this?

https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 points to 31.4.24 yesterday, yet it changed back to 30.4.23 this morning. I believe that's because 31.4.24 has big problems on Windows [1]. I synced my files on several Arch boxes with 31.4.24 today and see no issues, so I decide to stay with 31.4.24. If you got problems with 31.4.24 while 30.4.23 is fine, please tell me and I'll downgrade this package.
Update: Dropbox just releases 31.4.25 and https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 points to this version. I guess they've fixed the problem.

I unflagged it as the official download link still points to dropbox-lnx.x86_64-30.4.22.tar.gz, and there's no news about 30.4.23 on Desktop client builds announcements [1]. I suspect it not a real stable version.

Hello, Dropbox's server has changed something so that update.sh is broken. I have to change this line:
grep -P '^Location:'
into
grep -iP '^Location:'
Although that script is not directly related to this package, it's useful for those who want to build latest dropbox packages locally. Could you consider fixing update.sh?

Hi @mtorromeo maybe you can change PKGBUILD to something like this:
1. Get latest version checking dropbox's official url.
2. Add a pkgver() function to change package version in build time.
3. Done. The bad thing is checksums need to be skipped.

Alexpin commented on 2016-12-21 20:12 (UTC)
@cbrnr I was skeptical of URLs used to host user data because in principle they could be used to host malicious clients. However, after figuring out that the official link points to that URL, I'm definitely ok with downloading dropbox from there.
@mtorromeo Thanks for your time and patience.
mtorromeo commented on 2016-12-21 18:10 (UTC)
I updated the URLs since there are many users that are having problems with the cloudfront ones.
I have tested them again anyway and they were still working fine for me. No 404 and no redirects either. Just a straight 200 OK with the download data.
Just to be clear, I am not ignoring the users with actual problems like this one but I have disabled the notifications in this thread a long time ago.
I have too many packages to maintain to waste my time on the pointless requests that many users have been making here and I'm sorry for everybody else with actual issues.

@mtorromeo, it appears there's a misunderstanding here. The source URLs actually give 404 responses to many
users, including myself.
When I visit the Dropbox website to download the "Headless Install" for x86_64 Linux, the URL listed is the
following:
https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64
When visiting that URL with network inspection (F12 in Chromium), I can see that it redirects to this URL:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-16.4.29.tar.gz
I tried to see if this URL scheme can be used to download earlier versions of Dropbox as well, and it seems
that it was able to fetch every single version of this package since its initial commit (3.4.6).
Therefore, I can only conclude that Dropbox has probably changed the location in which they host their
downloads, and that because of some weird funky caching, it appears that the old URL scheme still works,
but only for some users. Regardless, the new URL scheme appears stable and reliable, even for older
versions. It works well for me, and hopefully for everyone else as well.

@cbrnr: those urls are NOT official. See https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/217 where you can see that urls in the form dl.dropboxusercontent.com/* are used to host USER data.

As some people have already indicated, the download links in the PKGBUILD do not work any more. I don't know why the URLs that the official download site points to cannot be used, but here are the two lines that need to be changed in the PKGBUILD that use the official download URLs:
source_i686=("https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/${pkgname}-lnx.x86-${pkgver}.tar.gz")

13.3.20 is a testing version.

commented on 2016-10-17 21:18 (UTC)
Has anyone tried to actually use the `dropbox.service` unit? I get this weird behavior when starting the service:
After running `systemctl --user start dropbox.service`, It is being started and restarted 3-5 times by systemd for some reason and afterwards you can see dropbox is running O.K but systemd thinks the service has failed. In the process of it being started and stopped you can actually see the tray icon showing up and down. I couldn't find very useful information with `journal -xe --user-unit=dropbox.service`.
I guess it is something with the unit file itself? I tried to change some Directives in the [service] section but it didn't work out.
# EDIT:
I downloaded the new version (13.3.20) as mentioned by [@AJSlye](https://aur.archlinux.org/account/AJSlye) and it was all fixed without changing the service file. **The problem was** with the `dropbox` binary - For some reason they made it fork itself or something and exiting with code 1 (very unusual). That's why systemd thought the command failed so it tried again and again for a few times and in the end dropbox was running ok.
Very Important to Update the package exactly if you are using the systemd `dropbox.service`.

Can you use the dl.dropbox URLs instead? Those are the official release URLs on the site (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-8.4.19.tar.gz for instance). I really don't trust the cloudfront links
EDIT: I trust the cloudfront links as those are officially given in the forums, but I would prefer the other link because it is much easier to identify. The AUR can be dangerous and it's nice to check the links to make sure it's not malicious. It's much easier to see dropbox/u/17 and understand that it's safe, but seeing https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net everythime is somewhat worrying and I always have to check the dropbox forums to make sure that is indeed the correct/safe link.
Notavi commented on 2016-08-09 10:34 (UTC)
Doesn't appear to work properly with Wayland desktops, although this can easily be worked around when starting dropbox manually by setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM="xcb".
Can the package be updated to avoid having to manually do this? Especially as people will probably not want this environment variable set for other applications (it forces Qt to use X11 instead of Wayland, so it's more of a compatibility fix than anything else).
darkvenger commented on 2016-07-12 09:09 (UTC)
@wfraser, or you could use the known hack to stop Dropbox from updating itself automatically (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Hack_to_stop_Auto_Update) and update it only through AUR.
wfraser commented on 2016-07-11 21:57 (UTC)
For me at least, the first thing the client does is download a newer version into my home directory, and on subsequent runs, it switches to that version, which then KILLS (literally, with SIGKILL) the one in /usr/bin/dropbox that I originally executed. This doesn't play nicely with things like systemd units which expect the original process to stay around.
Might I suggest changing /usr/bin/dropbox from a symlink to /opt/dropbox/dropbox, to something like the following:
#!/bin/sh
dist="$HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd" # this is where dropbox puts the updated version
if [ -x $dist ]; then
exec $dist
fi
exec /opt/dropbox/dropbox

I realize that "cloudfront" is listed as an official mirror in dropbox help site but it is still hard to validate the authenticity of the package since cloudfront is a CDN not specific to dropbox. Could you please suggest another method of validation. :)
PS: That said, I understand why you need to use the cloudfront packages. The official dropbox linux source codes hosted in dropbox are way outdated.

@darkvenger, yes it is getting ridiculous, and there's a simple solution:
https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86-3.14.7.tar.gz
It's not a matter of having the Dropbox name in the link. As @joaompinto mentioned, it's about downloading the source code from a place without manually checking if the link is legit.
If it is using SSL and comes from the dropbox domain, it gives some level of authenticity. To check the authenticity of the cloudfront link you have to manually go to their forums. (Or otherwise blindly trust the maintainer/cloudfront link)
Is this a upstream issue? Yes, I think. Could this be fixed by changing the link to the one above and ending this silly discussion? Yes.
darkvenger commented on 2016-02-26 00:25 (UTC)
This discussion is indeed getting really annoying, saying that a URL is more official than another just because one contains the dropbox word (https://dl-web.dropbox.com) and the other does not (https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net) seems a little ridiculous.
For those who are really concerned you should probably complain to Dropbox. Why is the Linux platform the only binary in https://www.dropboxforum.com that comes from cloudfront?
joaompinto commented on 2016-02-25 20:34 (UTC)
Hello mtorromeo,
I will take a look at your comments and improve my PKGBUILD. I hope you do the same and understand why people care about using official download links, with proper SSL certificates, from the software provider, and not from a 3rd party.
SSL was invented for a reason, encryption and identity. While encryption is not a requirement for this case. Identity is. Please check the following:
curl -vq https://dropbox.com 2>&1 | grep "subject"
curl -vq https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net/ 2>&1 | grep "subject"
To validate your statement "cloudfrount links ARE OFFICIAL" people will need to download from https://dropbox.com, run a sha256sum on the resulting files, and check against your PKGBUILD sha256sum.
mtorromeo commented on 2016-02-24 10:27 (UTC)

I also have some concerns, for that I observe a strange behaviour where dropbox continuously upload data ever when everything is synced and there are no reason for uploading a vast quantity of data !
I don't know if it is a bug or an intended behaviour, but I do not feel easy about having this piece of software coming from unofficial location.
However, comparing the md5sum of the targz with the one from https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 gives the same results

@joelpet, I also see the cloudfront URL. I would certainly feel better about this package if the sources were updated to the official ones. For now I think I'll retract my vote.
joelpet commented on 2016-01-28 03:23 (UTC)
I share @ron89's concern that the source is downloaded from a (seemingly) arbitrary Dropbox user's content. I assume the URL was originally taken from https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200210355-Desktop-Client-Builds where official (?) Desktop Client Builds are posted and then just kept the same for each new release. However, when I visit https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203932093-Stable-Build-3-12-6 now, the download URL is instead https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net/client/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.12.6.tar.gz. That file's SHA1 sum (9836b0b37f6d0d7527f4449d3109f2bbaf32d48c) matches the one at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.12.6.tar.gz, and none of the URLs seem to redirect to the other.
Am I alone in seeing the cloudfront.net URL on the Desktop Client Builds page? If not, how about updating PKGBUILD to reflect this change of URL?
Thank you for making this package available.

Where do you get 3.12.6 version? I can't see anything like that here: https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/ But more importantly, my log is full of `[ALERT]: You're using an old version of Dropbox. Please update to the latest version to continue using Dropbox.` messages, even after updating this package.
QuimaxW commented on 2015-12-17 21:01 (UTC)
3.12.5 is now current. On my system, it's been nagging me to enter a system (root?) password with no explanation. Apparently, it was trying to update itself. PKGBUILD stays the same, just updated the version to 3.12.5 (and the related checksum lines if you wish to not ignore those) and it compiled just fine.

For all having trouble with sync'ing folders, verify your file system mount parameters. In my case, my Dropbox folder was on an XFS partition with the noatime option. Changing to relatime solved my synchronization problems. I've read that if you are on ext3/ext4 you should use the user_xattrs option.
I hope this helps someone.

I can't make the current version (3.10.8) work.
I can install it, I can login in my account, but the folders doesn't sincronize.
The application stop sincronize (as if it has downloaded all the new files) but nothing more hapens.
I checked my cellphone app and dropbox.com and the new files are all there, but in my Arch box they aren't.
Is anyone facing this problem?

mtorromeo commented on 2015-08-03 08:23 (UTC)
@alex.forencich The most generic solution I could come up with is adding "ReadOnlyDirectories=/home/%u/.dropbox-dist" to the systemd service file.
There is no guarantee that the user's home is located in /home/USERNAME though and %h can only be used in systemd user instances.
alex.forencich commented on 2015-08-03 06:35 (UTC)
The systemd script does not work correctly if dropbox can auto-update. If an update to dropbox gets installed in ~/.dropbox-dist, the executable that the systemd script tries to run will pass control to the new version in ~/.dropbox-dist and then die. Systemd will restart it automatically, causing a conflict. The solution appears to be to disable auto-update by deleting ~/.dropbox-dist and recreating it with no permissions. Not sure if there is a more permanent solution implemented as part of the package.

Very little buzz around this online, though, so many people are not experiencing this? (forum discussion: http://tinyurl.com/pkcyuf7)

Has anyone had any problems symc'ing files in subfolders? I realised that only files under ~/Dropbox and ~/Dropbox/Public get sync'ed since version 3.4.x. The only way for other subfolders to sync, is to restart de daemon. I had to revert to 3.2.9 to have sync'ing working again.
speedytux commented on 2015-04-06 15:40 (UTC)
Here KDE Frameworks 5.9.0, Plasma 5.2.2.

The icon in the system tray is still missing, but the app works.

Although not present on the website as a release (only release candidate), the client currently downloads dropbox 3.4.1 into ~/.dropbox-dist and runs that instead. Would it be possible to update this package?

wooque commented on 2015-03-16 11:54 (UTC)
@resio Experienced same thing. Fresh Arch + minimal Xfce install, Dropbox starts but doesn't show GUI for login.
As it worked before on past installation, I investigate what package could be missing and found out that Dropbox needs libxslt, after that it's launching GUI and working fine.
@mtorromeo libxslt as dependency?
trapangle commented on 2015-03-13 19:55 (UTC)

Fresh install (12Mar15), Cinnamon desktop. Package is workign fine and icon appears. Only needed to authorize computer using cell phone code in a window popping up on first run after install.
No reboot or other no complications.
resio commented on 2015-03-10 01:39 (UTC)
After a fresh arch install, dropbox won't even launch a GUI when trying to start it.
If you're trying to start dropbox from terminal after a fresh install, you won't see any messages.
Reboot and start dropbox before starting x, and you'll see dropbox wants you to go to a link to authorize your computer. Go to that url on another machine, and youll see dropbox has now authorized you. Start Xorg and, though tray icon won't be there (theres a bug out right now), it'll still be running

Hey,
any way to got dropbox system tray indicator in plasma 5 without the ugly wmsystemtray ?
I have seen in the article of Martin Graesslin ( http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/ ), is it possible to package Dropbox with Qt5.4 wich support Status Notifier instead of XEmbed ?
I understand that you do not have access to sources of Dropbox, but maybe you can do something :)
trapangle commented on 2015-02-21 12:00 (UTC)
Can't get it to work anymore. I removed any dropbox file from my whole system (64 bits - XFCE) and reinstalled this package and thunar-dropbox from the AUR. When I start it using applications menu, or "dropbox" in command line, or /opt/dropbox/dropbox, or /opt/dropbox/dropboxd, the process starts without any error, but no icon in the notification area (I checked it's not set to "hidden"), no window opens (not sure if that's supposed to happen) and the files are not synchronized.
thiagowfx commented on 2015-02-14 04:08 (UTC)
mtorromeo, I think what you said makes sense, dropbox-cli is the package which should be updated. I suggested an edit to it in its page.
aaronjameslang commented on 2015-02-13 12:44 (UTC)
I think it's reasonable for the dropbox package to have a command `dropbox`, and the dropbox-cli package to have a command called `dropbox-cli`.
If users disagree they can symlink/alias to their heart's content, but the default names should be as least-surprising as possible.
Looking at the dropbox-cli page, a similar solution has been suggested there.
mtorromeo commented on 2015-02-13 08:06 (UTC)
I don't use dropbox-cli so I missed the conflict. The dropbox "source" always provided both "dropbox" and "dropboxd" binaries but I decided to link only dropboxd to /usr/bin since it was the wrapper necessary to make it work.
Now "dropboxd" has become useless and I changed the link.
I am fine removing the link altogether, so that you would have to launch it by /opt/dropbox/dropbox or with the provided desktop file.
What do you think about this?
cfr42 commented on 2015-02-12 22:41 (UTC)
This isn't a conflict with itself but, as thiagowfx says, with dropbox-cli. It would be good to know if the change made in the PKGBUILD here reflects a change in dropbox or not, and whether there is an alternative way of getting the functionality currently provided by dropbox-cli. I'm not clear whether it is simply a case of dropbox-cli being out of date (either the package or upstream), or whether it is a problem with changes made to the packaging of dropbox.
Whereas previously, dropbox sym linked using /usr/bin/dropboxd, now it is using /usr/bin/dropbox which, of course, conflicts with dropbox-cli.
tancrackers commented on 2015-02-12 16:28 (UTC)
The tray icon works with dropboxd and with the systemd service, both using KDE. Major props!
thiagowfx commented on 2015-02-12 15:40 (UTC)
This conflicts with the dropbox-cli package now.

With the last couple versions, when I try to interact (in Gnome) with the icon in the bottom corner my system acts weird. If I try to open preferences, my system becomes unresponsive, and if I tell it to open dropbox folder my nautilus handling the desktop crashes. Not sure what is causing it.
playenball commented on 2015-02-11 22:33 (UTC)
I ended up disabling the systemd service and using the dropbox.desktop file to auto-start it with my desktop environment and now I have an icon every time.
Also I had to point the desktop file to dropbox instead of dropboxd like ItachiSan commented about.

Now it works, thanks a lot.
After doing makepkg -g it was still necessary to edit PKGBUILD to change the line
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && sha256sums[0]='ebe31f46fb2caa821a23a9f025be8c96656d69f48b5883f7e3bef87792b16262'
It seems the -g option doesn't affect this line and it was the problem I had when I've tried to compile the package. In case anyone have this issue, you just have to change the sha256sums.
gourdcaptain commented on 2015-01-19 17:36 (UTC)
...You'll need to regenerate the md5s in the PKGBUILD because it's expecting the files for 3.0.5, and with the changed version it grabs the older files and sees they don't match the newer ones. Run makepkg -g and replace the md5sums in the PKGBUILD with the ones that produces.
janilson commented on 2015-01-19 12:15 (UTC)
@fthiery, how you've installed the dropbox2? What did you change in PKGBUILD?

The missing trayicon seems to be a bug in qt5:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31762
I also found a workaround for the missing icon, try starting dropbox with strace:
strace dropboxd &> /dev/zero
I have no idea why that is working.
It seems to be driver related:
nvidia-340xx --> icon working out of the box
nouveau & intel --> icon not working
"strace dropboxd" works for both nouveau & intel.
cgirard commented on 2014-12-19 11:57 (UTC)

tekila commented on 2014-12-17 15:00 (UTC)
Yeah I got the same problem in Gnome 3.14. The dropbox icon is not present in the bar, but if I right click where it should be the menu appears.
This bug is present since the qt change.
KlipperKyle commented on 2014-12-16 21:13 (UTC)
I just stumbled on this on Dropbox's (rather crummy) forum. The problem with the disappearing icons could be a problem with the icon resources themselves.
> After the latest big update I've faced a problem with Dropbox tray icon in Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE desktop environment.
There's no full-sized Dropbox icon in tray - only 1x1 small white pixel (so-called "icon", but resized somehow to 1px). So you have no ability to reach Dropbox context menu from tray and to see.
It seems to be the graphic files' problem.
I've opened .png files from ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.0.3/images/hicolor/16x16/status in Photoshop , converted them from 16 bits per channel to 8 bits per channel, restarted Dropbox - and tray icon appeared!
But after the next restart 1px "icon" got back...
I haven't tested different Ubuntu desktop environments, but other people had mentioned the same problem in XFCE with no solution.

Enough with the dependencies requests! They are all bundled...

vicp74 commented on 2014-12-16 13:39 (UTC)
The dependencies are still wrong, you can check it using namcap [1]:
$ namcap dropbox-3.0.3-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
dropbox E: Dependency qt5-webkit detected and not included
dropbox E: Dependency popt detected and not included
dropbox W: Dependency included and not needed ('dbus-glib')
So the PKGBUILD should say:
depends=("qt5-webkit" "popt" "libsm")

MightyPork commented on 2014-12-14 10:27 (UTC)
Is this the official release? Just noticed that on their website there's only ~2.1, where does this come from? (btw the downgrade option by @nhutdm + adding to IgnorePkg worked great!)
Ayceman commented on 2014-12-13 22:07 (UTC)
Downgrading according to those sources works well - hope they fix it, as we shouldn't have to use an older client.
ctown.myth, gourdcaptain: I said that having QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE set to gtk is aggravation the problem, not a solution. Some systems have it set to fix a qt theming issue in Xfce.

Instead works:

uboot commented on 2014-12-12 08:06 (UTC)
I'm using Awesome with a black/dark theme - systray works, but icon has no alpha channel -> uglyish white square icon. But at least fully functional.
According to ctown.myth's link, CPU load should settle sooner or later. I had no significant dropbox CPU load anymore since yesterday.
gourdcaptain commented on 2014-12-12 05:28 (UTC)
Thanks. That didn't work for me because I needed a 64-bit copy, but if you just take the PKGBUILD of the current version, change the version number to 2.10.52 and regenerate the hashes it'll install the old version.

KlipperKyle commented on 2014-12-11 23:28 (UTC)
I gave up and downgraded to Dropbox 2. In Dropbox 3 half the time the icon is missing, and the new QT GUI is ugly.
However, Dropbox (in it's infinite wisdom) attempts to upgrade itself. Here's how to prevent it: (Thank you, wiki)
install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist
touch $PATH_TO_DROPBOX_DIR/.dropbox-cache/dropbox-upgrade-3.0.3.tar.gz
chmod 0 $PATH_TO_DROPBOX_DIR/.dropbox-cache/dropbox-upgrade-3.0.3.tar.gz
uboot commented on 2014-12-11 17:48 (UTC)
on my machine, dropbox got magically auto-updated to 3.0.3 by itself - my package is still at 2.x
@Sc0rian:
heavy cpu load: yes, me !! but only occasionally - seems to be related with indexing / file modification checks
memory consumption: virtual mem 1.5GB but less than 256MB used
Ayceman commented on 2014-12-11 11:56 (UTC)
It seems the problem with version 3.0.3 is traceable to QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk set in /etc/environment and a lack of qt5-webkit and popt dependencies combined. Both the dependencies need to be present and the environment variable needs to be unset from gtk. Running it as "QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=[insert whatever or nothing, but not gtk] dropboxd" makes it function, but not fit into the theme.
bcc commented on 2014-12-11 09:48 (UTC)
anyone else having really bad memory leaks with the latest update? Just had to kill the client as it was sucking 4.5G with 25% cpu.
5chdn commented on 2014-12-11 08:18 (UTC)
Is there any way to restore the tray icon yet? It's missing since the update to 3.x (Mate Desktop). Running dropboxd manually does not fix it either.
asafk commented on 2014-12-10 03:59 (UTC)
Changing the dependencies as suggested by vicp74 works. But the icon shows up only when I manually run dropboxd. If I use the launcher from the Xfce menu, it will show up as a process, but there is no icon; and if I use systemd it doesn't start at all.
vicp74 commented on 2014-12-09 23:24 (UTC)
The dependencies are wrong:
$ namcap dropbox-3.0.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
dropbox E: Dependency qt5-webkit detected and not included
dropbox E: Dependency popt detected and not included
dropbox W: Dependency included and not needed ('dbus-glib')
dropbox W: Dependency included and not needed ('gtk2')
So the PKGBUILD should say:
depends=("qt5-webkit" "popt" "libsm")
Max-P commented on 2014-12-09 21:45 (UTC)
The tray icon issue seems related to the Qt theme. My Qt somehow happens to not detect my DE properly and uses its default built-in theme and dropbox works just fine for me. Being annoyed by the ugly UI, I just set the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE variable and boom, no more tray icon. Setting another Qt theme for now might work as a temporary workaround.
Ayceman commented on 2014-12-09 17:33 (UTC)
Yep, same here - Tray icon missing completely on Xfce
Spike29 commented on 2014-12-09 12:29 (UTC)

I upgraded dropbox. After a logout/login, the dropbox icon is "missing" from the system tray. I'm on Gnome and using the Topicons extension. Well it's present but not visible. I can right-click it but the icon itself is not visible.
mtorromeo commented on 2014-12-09 10:31 (UTC)
Last time I tried it didn't work out well. Maybe something would be fine but the bundled Qt wasn't compatible with the system one and removing it lead to crashes.
vincent commented on 2014-12-09 10:20 (UTC)
Is it possible to remove all third-party libraries from Dropbox distrib and add it in PKGBUILD as normal dependencies? I don't know what is in heads of developers, but this Windows-like style is a very bad manner.
swiftscythe commented on 2014-12-09 10:19 (UTC)

It won't change in the future (and if it does, it'd mean a new PKGBUILD, which means can check manually) but yes, you could always use something like:
if diff dropbox library.zip >/dev/null; then
echo "Files are the same - remove one and create symlink"
rm -f library.zip
ln -s dropbox library.zip
fi
(might need some paths and stuff adding in, but you see the idea)

Also FYI (to save me filing a bug report) the file "library.zip" and "dropbox" are identical (md5sum) - so to save 21MB of disk space, you can delete library.zip (it's not even a zip file), and then create a symlink to "dropbox" named "library.zip" (it doesn't start unless it sees that file)

OK, figured it out - if you're not running a full DE, this package should depend on "perl-file-mimeinfo" as the dropbox script relies on "mimeopen" from that package when $DE is not set (if you use openbox etc)

It doesn't work for me. when I run `dropboxd' in terminal. this command doesn't return. No files can sync. Both dropbox and dropbox-experimental are the same. How can I find the history version of dropbox?

bedi1982: Well as its name implies, the experimental version bring more recent but unstable version. It just means the fix will come in an upcoming stable version.
commented on 2014-03-14 13:55 (UTC)
The dropbox-experimental here from AUR brought up that login screen to me. Dunno why this one here doesn't, maybe maintainer should check if he still using the newest version of dropbox from upstream?
aryklein commented on 2014-03-13 00:02 (UTC)
I can't get a prompt screen for my login information with dropbox-2.6.18, so I had to go back to dropbox 2.6.7-1. This one works fine.
Federzoni commented on 2014-03-12 20:36 (UTC)
@mathomastech No luck here neither - with the suggested instructions (I also have a fresh install of Arch - but must confirm I kept my old /home partition). First haven't been able to get a prompt screen for login information, too. But if you start dropbox and disconnect from internet and delete the .dropbox folder after a while Dropbox asks you for the internet connection (so you get a prompt). After klicking try again and reconnecting to the internet you can enter your login information.
The problem just was when I was able to enter the login information - dropbox didn't accept the information and told me > an error occured. try again. <
But perhaps it works out for you.
mthx commented on 2014-03-12 04:21 (UTC)
@rickysheaves No luck here. Got a fresh install of Arch. Attempted your instructions, as well as the method @akael suggested. I haven't been able to get a prompt screen for my login information.

It's very nice of you to post an alternative pkgbuild.
But what should this flagging out of date helps anyone? I see this one updated last on 2014-03-05 which is only a couple of days ago and the project is highly commented with remarks a few hours ago.
So nothing is really out of date here?!
lots0logs commented on 2014-03-08 23:09 (UTC)
The current PKGBUILD does not result in a working installation of Dropbox so I flagged it out-of-date. I'll post a corrected PKGBUILD later today if time allows.
newkular commented on 2014-03-08 10:24 (UTC)
Here's what worked for me:
1. Install this AUR package.
2. Download https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/dropbox.py from the official Dropbox site.
3. Run the script: python2 dropbox.py start -i
4. You'll be prompted to download the Dropbox engine. Accept.
5. You'll then be prompted to configure your installation and log in to the service.
6. Once logged in, stop dropbox (the instance spawned from the python script).
7. Delete ~/.dropbox-dist
8. Restart Dropbox from your start menu or reboot.
YMMV
Svante commented on 2014-03-08 08:05 (UTC)
Can't make this package work. Dropbox is installed all right, but I can't configure it. So I can't connect to my Dropbox account.
carstene1ns commented on 2014-03-04 23:05 (UTC)
Yes, it has to work this way, because you have all permissions in your home directory. The point is it does not work with a system-wide install.
akael commented on 2014-03-04 21:30 (UTC)
I was able to get dropbox working simply by using the directions from the dropbox site:
32-bit:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -
64-bit:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Like this I have to start the service manually, but at least it works.
GordonGR commented on 2014-03-03 15:50 (UTC)
Some update on my part, since I had time enough today to investigate a bit.
1) I removed all dropbox-related packages from my system, even thunar-dropbox which shouldn't be relevant, but still. I tried cedricmc's workaround, it worked. The window asking me to link an account or make a new one popped-up, I gave my data, it linked them, synchronised my ~/Dropbox, all good. Then I tried installing the dropbox package from the aur, ran it, it didn't work; tried to sync endlessly but couldn't.
2) I started over: Removed ~/dropbox*, reran cedric's workaround (without uninstalling the dropbox package) and it didn't work. It kept trying to sync for ever (just like my previous attemt some days ago).
3) I removed the dropbox package and reran cedric's workaround, this time it worked again. I tried downgrading the package pacman-wise, ie taking the PKGBUILD and changing $pkgver and the respective sha512sums. I makepkg'ed it, installed it, ran it. Dropbox claimed it couldn't connect due to permissions error, referencing to a file in my /tmp, located here [1].
4) I manually downloaded and ran (cedric's way) the newest dropbox 2.6.13 and… it works properly.
Hence I suspect we have a packaging problem regarding permissions, but I have no idea what.

Stop flagging this package out-of-date when a new stable version has not been released.
The out-of-date flag is NOT for indicating there's a problem with the package.

I installed Dropbox for first time on another computer. To my surprise, I'm unable to register my machine with the GUI.
Any plans on fixing it? Please, I used Dropbox extensively for homework and other stuff.
GordonGR commented on 2014-02-25 12:46 (UTC)
I tried again, but no. No dropbox instances running, no ~/Dropbox, not even the .dropbox* folders. So weird.
pngaudioguy commented on 2014-02-25 12:22 (UTC)
@GordonGR - I initially had the exact same problem. I solved it by making sure that the daemon wasn't running with ps aux |grep dropboxd, and removing the Dropbox folder from my home/user/ folder. Then when I started the tmp version, it popped up the Welcome dialog.
GordonGR commented on 2014-02-25 09:51 (UTC)
cedricmc's workaround doesn't work for me :S A dropbox application does open, but it doesn't sync, and when I open its preferences it won't let me unlink my account so I can relink it (it's greyed out). I suppose the problem is that the welcome box won't pop up. Weird :S
commented on 2014-02-24 10:28 (UTC)
cedricmc's solution worked for me aswell.
it's a simple package with stable dependencies, i cannot for the live of me figure out why it is suddenly behaving like this on Arch.
It is not producing any error codes either that are of any use.
theOptimizedCode commented on 2014-02-23 11:30 (UTC)
cedricmc's workaround worked out like a charm for me..
pngaudioguy commented on 2014-02-22 15:07 (UTC)
Did you try the workaround that cedricmc posted below? Install dropbox, then quit and make sure the daemon isn't running. Make sure that the folder you plan to sync into (default is /home/your username/Dropbox) doesn't exist. Then type one line at a time:
mkdir ~/tmp && cd ~/tmp
wget -O dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.6.7.tar.gz "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"
tar zxf dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.6.7.tar.gz
.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
The box welcoming you to Dropbox should pop up, with options to create an account or sign in, and where you want to sync your Dropbox, etc. After signing in and letting it start to sync you can quit out. Re-start the new (2.6.13-1) Dropbox from your menu or installed location. It should continue syncing. You can now remove the temporary version with:
rmdir ~/tmp
commented on 2014-02-22 12:08 (UTC)
I tried the 2.6.13-1 version this morning on a fresh install of arch 64_86 and i could not get it to work at all.
It doesn't make a ~/dropbox folder and instead complains it cannot find it, all option on the account tab of the preferences screen are greyed out and i cannot link my account.
- I tried removing the ~/.dropbox folder.
- I tried creating the dropbox folder manually.
- I chowned both folders.
Everything else seems to be fine, but if i cannot link my account the package is useless ...
pngaudioguy commented on 2014-02-20 19:18 (UTC)
cedricmc's instructions below work with one substitution for x86_64 (the 32 bit binaries didn't work for me.)
wget -O dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.6.7.tar.gz "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"
Obvious if you're familiar with Linux, but you'll have to extract that .tar.gz file that you downloaded with tar zxf or similar, which gives you the .dropbox-dist folder for his next line.
Also, make sure that the new version isn't running when you try to start the sync, and that you don't already have a Dropbox folder in your /home/user folder, or it won't detect that it's a new installation and you still won't get the option to input your account info.
cedricmc commented on 2014-02-19 18:35 (UTC)
Workaround: login with a previous version and exit
mkdir ~/tmp && cd ~/tmp
wget -O dropbox-lnx.x86-2.6.7.tar.gz "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86"
.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
(login & wait to start sync & close dropbox)
cd .. && rm -r tmp
cedricmc commented on 2014-02-19 16:19 (UTC)
Dropbox 2.6.12-1 does not show the login dialog, however it does sync already linked accounts. Checked on two different systems x86_64.

I just installed the new version posted by carstene1ns (see below).
Edit PKGBUILD file like so:
pkgver=2.6.8. (instead of 2.6.7)
Then do a '$ updpkgsums' in the same directory, this will download the dropbox source files and update the checksums. Again in the same folder do '$ makepkg -s' and install the newly made package 'dropbox-2.6.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' with pacman.
# pacman -U dropbox-2.6.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.
This will install dropbox 2.6.8.

ackalker commented on 2014-02-07 22:13 (UTC)
The /tmp/<hidden>.html file is being created, my guess is that xdg-open has some trouble with the #<URL fragment> thingy hanging off the back.
Bare file names don't take URL fragments, URLs do, so I think xdg-open should be used as:
xdg-open "file:///tmp/<bla>.html#whatever".
I did a simple grep on the package but I can't find anything 'xdg-open' related (probably crypted/obfuscated/whatever).
ackalker commented on 2014-02-07 21:54 (UTC)
dropbox 2.6.7-1: choosing "Launch Dropbox Website" doesn't work; running 'dropboxd' from command line and trying shows:
xdg-open: file '/tmp/<hidden>.html#<loooong-string-of-hex-probably-to-be-kept-private>' does not exist
('<hidden>' and that other one are obviously not real).
xdg-open has no problems opening local .html files in my browser of choice.
Please advise if this is an upstream bug or if it has anything to do with this package.

This package provides the dropboxd program within your PATH. I think what you might be looking for is the dropbox-cli program, which provides a Python script that can manage running Dropbox via `dropbox start`, `dropbox stop`, etc.

This may be a stupid question, but I had to manually add

memeplex commented on 2013-11-26 23:14 (UTC)
I'm experiencing the same annoyance than @DullOnion and @lahwaacz. I don't think it has anything to do with the default browser. The point is that neither the file manager nor the browser nor xdg-open will open the pseudo-url dropbox is passing. For example pcmanfm, firefox and xdg-open fail with:
/tmp/dbxlYdF_t4.html#0b3529b7f928f6e76e0bb5e164782200ccc0940844dbd8cd51df7915c460cd4aaacdf8782440f48590e9bf
But firefox will open:
file:///tmp/dbxlYdF_t4.html#0b3529b7f928f6e76e0bb5e164782200ccc0940844dbd8cd51df7915c460cd4aaacdf8782440f48590e9bf

@poxar
Thanks a lot for the Thunar tip, this was something that was starting to drive me crazy.
crazyh commented on 2013-11-14 10:44 (UTC)
Look here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37755
It is impossible to start Dropbox for user like "test-user" but I'm able to start Dropbox for user "test".
I tried "User = %i" in unit-file, as suggested and it helped.
lahwaacz commented on 2013-11-11 20:14 (UTC)
@DullOnion: thanks for pointing this out, here's the result of my quick investigation:
dropbox creates this file /tmp/dbxl*.html which contains javascript code with the hashed password. The script then basically redirects to dropbox.com and fills in the password, so you don't have to type it manually. If anyone is interested, here is the extracted html file: https://gist.github.com/lahwaacz/7419470 (of course I've removed the hashed password).
I find this behaviour pretty dangerous, IMO it would be enough to just open dropbox.com directly and count on the browser's cookies, you'd type the password just once so what's the big deal? Also note that you need a browser with javascript enabled for the dbxl*.html to work.
DullOnion commented on 2013-11-11 19:42 (UTC)
Thanks for the help, but the problem still persists. Firefox is correctly configured as my default web browser and Thunar is defined as my default file browser. I think the specific problem is that xdg-open is trying to open /tmp/dbxl*.html#[hash] with [hash] being what I assume is login and password info and complaining that the file does not exist. The dbxl*.html file itself does exist though, just without the hash appended to it.
poxar commented on 2013-11-06 16:16 (UTC)
@DullOnion @orschiro
the browser opened depends on which file-browser is set as the default, if none or a nonexistant .desktop file is specified the default web-browser will be opened. (it uses xdg-open i believe)
so if you want to open thunar, when clicking on the dropbox icon you have to write
inode/directory=Thunar.desktop
into ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

For me it is:

@DullOnion It does open file manager for me but not the default one. Instead of opening Dolphin, Dropbox opens Konqueror.

Until the maintainer updates the package, run this (as one line) to get and install the latest version:
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dr/dropbox/dropbox.tar.gz -O - | tar xz && cd dropbox && patch PKGBUILD <(wget -q -O - http://sprunge.us/CYei) && makepkg -sci

@donniezazen: you'll have to delete ~/.dropbox-dist/ manually once you install dropbox-2.4.5
donniezazen commented on 2013-11-03 12:46 (UTC)
@lahwaacz That makes sense. I saw dropbox was 2.4.4-1 in AUR and my dropbox icon says it's 2.4.5. What do you think once dropbox is updated here will it automatically get fix or if manual intervention is required.
lahwaacz commented on 2013-11-03 11:05 (UTC)
@donniezazen: that's probably because dropbox detected newer version, downloaded it, extracted the files into ~/.dropbox-dist/, tried to re-exec itself and failed. This process fails because dropbox from this package is installed under /opt/dropbox/ and re-exec over different binary path is not possible.
The fact that auto-update can't be disabled in dropbox is really pissing me off...

orschiro commented on 2013-09-04 06:19 (UTC)

Sorry for that. I completely forgot about a local script that I used for reconnection. That has caused dropbox to restart all the time and not the systemd service.
lahwaacz commented on 2013-09-03 21:28 (UTC)
@orschiro: aren't you using systemd's dropbox@.service? It includes 'Restart=always'.
orschiro commented on 2013-09-03 21:20 (UTC)
The dropbox client restarts over and over again regardless how often I try to kill it. Except for the client itself I do not run any other software which could cause the client to restart:
[orschiro@thinkpad ~]$ pacman -Q | grep dropbox
dropbox 2.2.13-1
Have you got any idea how I can trace back what is causing the restarts of the client?

@spartanroc, @bobbaluba, and @CaioAlonso. I was having the same issue, until I found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165892.
In summary, if your dropbox folder is on an ntfs partition, make sure its mount path contains no spaces, and add "default_permissions" to the mount options of that partition in /etc/fstab.
spartanroc commented on 2013-07-12 15:52 (UTC)
I successfully downgraded the dropbox to 2.0.26 and now everything works.
Here is what I did for those who suffering the same problem:
Download the tarball and extract it to a directory like /var/abs/local/
Change the file PKGBUILD: pkgver=2.0.26
makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
makepkg -f -L
sudo pacman -U dropbox-2.0.26-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
then restart your dropbox

mtorromeo commented on 2013-06-19 09:57 (UTC)
@rikmer: The correct systemd way of achieving this is by creating a file in "/etc/systemd/system/dropbox@.service" with this content:
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service
[Unit]
After=gdm.service
And then issue "systemctl reenable dropbox@USER.service"
(sorry about spamming with comments, I'm done fixing typos hopefully)
rikmer commented on 2013-06-19 09:52 (UTC)
@lahwaacz: I added "After=gdm.service" and "Requires=gdm.service" to the [Unit] section of /usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service to ensure that x server is running when calling the dropbox service. It doesnt seem to work. Or am I thinking the wrong way.

@jstjohn, rikmer: The issue is more likely to be that dropbox is started before X server.
jstjohn commented on 2013-06-18 19:03 (UTC)
rikmer, enabling a service tells systemd to start the service at boot but does not tell systemd to start the service immediately. They are two separate behaviors.
You likely want to enable and start the service at the same time instead of doing one or the other.
See this for more info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Using_units
rikmer commented on 2013-06-18 18:17 (UTC)
nautilus 3.8.2-1, nautilus-dropbox 1.6.0-1, dropbox 2.2.3-1
After following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Run_as_daemon_with_systemd and starting dropbox via "sudo systemctl start dropbox@<user>" everything works as expected.
The icon shows in nautilus and in the system tray.
BUT if the service is enabled via "sudo systemctl enable dropbox@<user>" only the icon in nautilus appears after a boot. The system tray is empty.

There is no signature and I don't know from what repository you are trying to get it from.

mtorromeo commented on 2013-04-28 16:18 (UTC)
It's a variety of reasons.
One is the license. I'm not sure if it allows repackaging but I don't care much to find out.
Another one is the fact that it's a binary blob that was meant to be placed in the user's home dir (and self-updated) and the fact that this pkgbuild puts it in /opt is sort of hackish.
That said if another TU wants to move it to [community] I have no objections but I won't.

mtorromeo commented on 2013-03-26 21:20 (UTC)
@dhaines: I'm not opposed to a service file into dropbox since, as you pointed out, this is the AUR and, more importantly, it does not qualify as a modification to the original package, more like an opt-in addition.
@HarD: Your suggestion does not really make any sense, but if you have that need you can modify the service file yourself as already suggested. You don't even need to maintain a separate copy of the service file since you can do something like this to inherit from distributed unit:
echo ".include /usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 30" > /etc/systemd/system/dropbox@.service
systemctl reenable dropbox@USERNAME.service

Stop asking for stupid shit to be added to the service file. It works at a basic level for all users as-is. If you want to customize it, feel free to do so. It's as simple as copying it to /etc/systemd/system and modifying to your heart's content. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Writing_custom_.service_files
Really, I don't even think that the service file should even be included in the tarball as Arch strives for vanilla packaging, but I realize that as this is the AUR, that rule is often relaxed. This is why I once maintained the separate dropbox-daemon AUR build (and indeed offered up the basic recipe for the modern service file when I disowned it).

Good point. I haven't thought of multiple X sessions being running. It might indeed be better to leave this optional.
dhaines commented on 2013-03-25 13:18 (UTC)
Please, don't add the DISPLAY variable. The user's X session is not consistently :0, thus it would break certain configurations (essentially any time that there has been more than one X server running). It's better to have the user override the service file in /etc/systemd/system than it is to put something in there that potentially breaks things for certain configurations.
Moreover, I don't believe that it will work in that if dropbox is started before the X session exists, I don't think that it's going to pop up in the tray after :0 is created.
Really, if you want the icon in your tray, you shouldn't be running dropbox as a daemon, but rather as a startup item in your DE, as that's where the place for the icon comes from.
orschiro commented on 2013-03-23 11:32 (UTC)

Can you please add the environment line to the service file? This brings up the tray icon when starting Dropbox via the systemd service file.

I confirm the context menu bug with awesome : right-clicking the tray icon does not bring a menu any more. No error message are output when dropboxd is launched from the console, while right-clicking on the icon.
It seems that the bug only occurs when Dropbox is not connected.
Anyway, it's an upstream bug, so wait'n'see...

commented on 2013-01-15 17:31 (UTC)
Long time Linux end-user, new to Arch/Manjaro (using Manjaro 0.8.3). I was unable to install this dropbox AUR using either packer or yaourt; though I had no trouble with any other AUR installation.
What did work flawlesly was following the generic Linux instructions from Dropbox:
How to Install Dropbox via command line
The Dropbox daemon works fine on all 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers. To install, run the following command in your Linux terminal.
32-bit:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -
64-bit:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
If you're running Dropbox on your server for the first time, you'll be asked to copy and paste a link in a working browser to create a new account or add your server to an existing account. Once you do, your Dropbox folder will be created in your home directory.
Then simply run:
packer -S thunar-dropbox
to get all the context-menu controls. Is there some basic assumption that you expect everyone to know (that new users don't), or does this package not work on Manjaro?
luolimao commented on 2013-01-13 22:37 (UTC)
If they weren't necessary, then namcap would say 'dependency [package] is not needed'

@anonymous_user: Yeah, I have rm -r .dropbox lots of time, the problem seems to be that the initial link screen simply doesn't show up. I'll wait for the next version to come out to try that one, if that doesn't work then I'll probably report a bug. Thanks for the help.
sebstar commented on 2013-01-10 21:13 (UTC)
If Dropbox auto-starts, it doesn't connect properly for me, because apparently my system boots too fast for the network service to establish the LAN connection via DHCP in time. The whole boot process only takes about 7 seconds (thanks to a SSD :), including Dropbox. I solved the problem by adding "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=5" to the .desktop file, which delays the start by 5 sec. Maybe you could add this entry by default to the .desktop file, as I guess other ppl might encounter the same problem and I think no one cares if their Dropbox starts 5 sec later. Thanks!

@josephgbr Thanks for your time. I disabled ufw entirely (#sudo ufw disable) and it still hung. Did not reboot though, but I don't think it should be an issue. Also, if I read [1] correctly then I should not have to do anything at all, since I can use Chromium just fine. But I'm not good with networking stuff at all :p
I will try to build the program from dropbox.com and see if it works. Still strange that it worked last time though...

Hello,
I installed 1.6.12-1 using makepkg and pacman -U, but when trying to run dropboxd either from the app menu or from a terminal emulator the program just hangs. I get a systray icon which, when right-clicked, says "Waiting to be linked to an account..." The only entry from this right-click menu that does anything is "Quit Dropbox". It does not output anything to the stdout.
I run gnome and -Syu dayly. I have checked that I own ~/-dropbox and have tried to remove and reinstall the package to no avail. How can I debug this? Is it a known issue?
EDIT: I realize ufw might be at fault as this is the first time I've used it. What do I need to do in ufw to make Dropbox run as it should?
Best regards

While you're updating for 1.6.5, replace the build() function with the package() function. Makepkg isn't building anything there, it's packaging things.

Under the Advanced Tab, I can't put a new location into "I want to choose where to put my dropbox". The window is grayed-out, and a new location using the CHANGE button doesn't "take". What would be preventing this?
luolimao commented on 2012-11-29 01:18 (UTC)
Can we not? I mean, that assumes that every other systemd service file should be reloaded at that point in time (and won't break anything as a result). This is untrue, if, say, you're editing a service file at the same time. If people want to reload right away, then they can do that with that cmd. Otherwise, it'll be reloaded on the next boot anyway.
arielp commented on 2012-11-28 21:31 (UTC)

@Maxwel I guess they didn't update the download page.

KaiSforza commented on 2012-11-26 22:58 (UTC)
Since there was no actual 'building' going on in the PKGBUILD, I moved it all to the package() function. This is, I guess (and from pacman-git yelling at me) the way that it's supposed to be written. Packages without a package() function are deprecated. It still builds, just does it weirdly, you could say.

A tip for others that also can't change the Dropbox location from the installation wizard: When the window is shown for changing the path, hit CTRL+L, enter the location (e.g. /mnt/data/Dropbox) and click on the 'Choose' button. (Haven't tried the Enter-key, navigating to the directory doesn't work, so you need to enter it manually)
It works for me, Dropbox now sync the folder /mnt/data/Dropbox.
zenlord commented on 2012-11-06 17:40 (UTC)
Vote +1 for including a systemd-service-file. It seems rather silly that you need another package just to get the service-file, and archlinux has switched to systemd entirely, so... To use it without a hardcoded username, it can be done with the %l-variable, like this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47493 (see comment 12/10/2012 by Wonder Woofy)
commented on 2012-10-06 11:30 (UTC)
Made a workaround to change Dropbox path and have funcional dropbox-cli commands, inspiration and information about startup script etc from here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Multiple_Dropbox_Instances
Basicly the alias "dropbox" just temporarily changes your $HOME before running a dropbox-cli command to make it adopt that home aswell. The way I did it ofc depends on dropbox-cli which is linked to above. Btw, when you install notice the recent PKGBUILD update by bruce!
I think it's possible to start the daemon etc without cli in the same manner as long as your $HOME is set right. And also this can be extented upon to make working for multiple dropbox instances. But that's for you to figure out if you want.
Anyways the difference from normal dropbox-cli command execution compared to the new way will be:
old way: /usr/bin/dropbox start <enter>
new way: dropbox <enter> start <enter>
So just add this below to your .bashrc and set your own dropbox_path (if on other partition make sure it's mounted with the right permissions). The only thing that i've found does NOT work is the "autostart" option which also can be worked around in many ways (link above)
#********************************
# Redirect dropbox-cli commands
# to change Dropbox's home path
#********************************
dropbox_path="/mnt/data"
user_path="/home/`logname`"
dropbox_cli='/usr/bin/dropbox'
set_home_dropbox="HOME=$dropbox_path"
set_home_home="HOME=$user_path"
alias dropbox="read -p '[Dropbox@'"$dropbox_path"']> ' input;\
$set_home_dropbox; $dropbox_cli \$input; $set_home_home;"
dhaines commented on 2012-09-27 14:56 (UTC)
I just disowned the dropbox-daemon AUR package as I have moved to systemd, and it's really easy to set up dropbox as a daemon with it. If anyone's on initscripts and wants to adopt the package, now's your time. Also, if you do want to run dropbox as a daemon under systemd, just make a service file with the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Dropbox
[Service]

ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

I couldn't find anywhere on the dropbox site where they published md5sums of their downloads so I did my own checksum. Is that what you normally do when maintaining this package?
Here is a git diff of PKGBUILD which worked for me using the md5sum I generated locally after downloading it manually. It works for me, but I've only tested on one machine and only on x86_64. I'm knew to trying to help with AUR packages, so I hope this helps.

That's expected. Dropbox is based in a blob - proprietary software provided in binary - which sometimes make it difficult for the maintainer to install files in the correct folder without breaking things up. In these cases - and that's dropbox case - better leave the way it is, sadly.
p.s. Next time, post any huge output in sites like http://pastebin.com, and then insert link in here, to avoid huge comments.

I guess it was a problem with the cache or with the .dropbox file. Well, at least it works now :)
Genues commented on 2012-08-23 12:08 (UTC)
@luolimao: thank you! I do not know what happened. I do not know exactly what helped, but now it work!
What i did:
1. Off dropbox application
2. Delete all file and folder related to dropbox (.dropbox and etc.) in ~/Dropbox
3. Rename folder Dropbox to Dropbox2
4. Uninstall dropbox
5. Delete all file and folder related to dropbox (.dropbox and etc.) in ~/
6. Install dropbox
7. Copy file from folder Dropbox2 to Dropbox
8. Delete folder Dropbox2 after sync
9. ...
8. PROFIT! :)
luolimao commented on 2012-08-23 11:46 (UTC)
The Dropbox folder's mode is 777 ? That seems a bit much, since you only need 755. Anyway, I haven't seen an error like this myself, I can't really see any issues with your setup, and a quick Google search hasn't turned up anything. You can try posting your issue at the Dropbox forums, since they might be able to help you more: https://forums.dropbox.com/

was a bit misleading, anyway it works perfectly now..
dvzrv commented on 2012-08-18 15:24 (UTC)
hmm, works fine over here.
Looks like some conflict with a cache file. Try deleting that .dropbox.cache folder or its contents in your Dropbox.
andrej84 commented on 2012-08-18 11:50 (UTC)
This version is failing for me to start, with an error like:

I also renamed .dropbox to set it up again but same problem, so I guess it's a problem in the version or
something in my system..
mtorromeo commented on 2012-08-03 21:17 (UTC)
@luolimao: thanks for the suggestions, I will update the PKDBUILD accordingly in the soon (1.4.12 only adds support for osx mountain lion so there is no rush)
@kitenski: dropbox won't run on arm. this is NOT open source and dropbox provides only i686 and x86_64 binaries.
luolimao commented on 2012-08-03 18:55 (UTC)
Btw, the bzip2 dependency is also unnecessary (gtk2 depends on it). Also, since bzip2 is part of the base group (which is assumed to be installed on all systems) it would be unnecessary anyway.
luolimao commented on 2012-08-03 18:40 (UTC)
mtorromeo, the lines in the PKGBUILD that say
. find "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox/" -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
and
. chown -R root:root "$pkgdir/opt/dropbox"
are unnecessary; all the folders' permissions are already drwxr-xr-x (i.e. 755), and the owner of the folder is root:root after the package is installed. Also, lines 5 and 6 in dropbox.desktop could be changed from
. Exec=/opt/dropbox/dropboxd
. Icon=dropbox.png
to
. Exec=dropboxd
. Icon=dropbox
due to the /usr/bin/dropboxd soft link and how /usr/share/pixmaps is set up.
Once you up the version to 1.4.12 and change the desktop file, the md5sums lines would become
. md5sums=('3488299b1d91591d3a5ba7e2c02ec220' '9ec50da2ce59ed8c17606394b9c5e1c0' '20c97082211cf02af494043b93d5feb8' '5331288d5f5972dc2e9311d0f28dac76')
. [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='a54dd81749c02157f1691ef4ac570305'
In other words, the PKGBUILD file would look like this: http://pastebin.com/2ZjJTMj6
commented on 2012-08-03 10:54 (UTC)
Sorry for dumb question, but this is the first time using an AUR package. I've downloaded and extracted this tarball. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dr/dropbox/dropbox.tar.gz
I then run makepkg -s
but I get this error:
==> ERROR: dropbox is not available for the 'arm' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('arm').

@greenaim: If you are on a 64 bit install and have recently (force) updated glibc, you might want to check that /lib64 is is properly in place. That's what went wrong on my install, but it has nothing to do with dropbox itself. Just reinstall glibc and it should work.

Could options=('!strip') be changed to options=('!strip' '!upx')? I know upx isn't on by default in makepkg.conf, but it does break something if it is turned on.

Since there is no actual compilation that takes place, `build()` can be changed to `package()` to better comply with PKGBUILD formatting.

@broken.pipe: It seems dropbox doesn't depend on core/openssl. If you run 'ldd /opt/dropbox/dropbox' you will see that dropbox binary is linked to libssl.so.0.9.8 that should be located at '/opt/dropbox/libssl.so.0.9.8'. If you don't have this lib in this place, than, that's a good reason for the error.
broken.pipe commented on 2012-01-26 21:00 (UTC)
thx for your responses, error still exists. i reinstalled openssl from core and multilib and rebuilt dropbox.
Were there any great changes in the last release? new dependencies? because the previous version(s) worked fine without any issues.

@wleoncio: Dropbox uses GTK2. There is no official Adwaita GTK2 theme, so it falls back to Clearlooks. Try installing a GTK2 Adwaita lookalike, such as Advaicium (http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/advaicium-adwaita-theme-ported-to-gtk2.html)
@jstjohn: the conclusion is right, but the reasoning is misleading: -U is for installing from files, which just happens to encompass the AUR if using makepkg manually (i.e. not via a pacman wrapper)

SamColes, you need to use `pacman -U dropbox-1.2.50-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz`. `pacman -S` is for installing from the official repositories, not from the AUR.

KaoDome commented on 2011-09-03 12:34 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to propose a modification to a file provided by this package.
The desktop file (/usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop) specifies the icon hard coded to the actual path which prevents correct "theming". If instead of that hardcoded path it read "dropbox.png" it would be possible to use automatically the customized icon if the current icon theme provides it (e.g. the Faenza icon theme provides a replacement for the default Dropbox icon).
I think line 6 in that file should be changed to read: Icon=dropbox.png

You should specify "opt/dropbox/dropboxd" (without quotes, no leading slash) in NoUpgrade.
Other than that, it is not responsibility of the PKGBUILD itself to ensure that NoUpgrade works. If it is not working, file a bug against pacman (or libalpm, not sure).
Evilandi666 commented on 2011-08-22 13:42 (UTC)
Could you please try to ensure that your pkgbuild does not always overwrite /opt/dropbox/dropboxd when this one is in /etc/pacman.conf -> NoUpgrade = ...
It is very annoying, even if you do chmod -w on it, it will be overwritten. Some of us use different/extenden dropboxd scripts.. so that's why it is annoying....

@chrisportela
Works here.
You need to D/L the entire Tarball and extract. I got a feeling you just D/L the PKGBUILD. That IS the error you would get (it 1st to be sourced that is not downloadable.)
Be sure to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines if you've not already done so.

@ngoonee: the link is https:// because of a previous request. I don't really care which one to use, but I cannot satisfy both requests so just change the link in the PKGBUILD.
@NobodySpecial: thanks!

Segmentation fault on trying to sync selective folders, only.
ngoonee commented on 2011-05-29 22:23 (UTC)
Request: could the download link be http:// rather than https://? Works fine here, and the https link somehow never seems to get started. Even better, my university blocks some https links =).

@twa022: Dropbox needs Python 2 and, possibly, GTK 2 to work. Check those are installed.

For 64bit systems change
pkgver=1.1.28 to pkgver=1.1.31
change
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='6c22e7c6d3370512d677d10059b23618'
to
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums[0]='a607cae9520626a208b51bb6d4230d5d'
then it will load up fine.

When getting an md5sum error (this should happen), manually md5sum the by-makepkg-downloaded dropbox-lnx.*-1.1.31tar.gz and edit the pkgbuild to change the source md5 sum

@sylar_5: I don't have nautilus-dropbox, but thunar-dropbox installed. I'm also having the problem that twa022 describes. So it's probably not a nautilus-dropbox problem?

@archibald:

but:
try to re-download nautilus-dropbox-0.6.7.tar.bz2
if this doesn't work:
manually md5sum it, and change the md5sum in the PKGBUILD.

My previous workaround doesn't work when running it through rc.conf DAEMON array...
just insert a

just before the "su -c "/usr/bin/dropboxd &" $USER"
commented on 2011-04-15 19:39 (UTC)
Found the problem with the script:
dropbox is somehow in conflict with /etc/rc.d/functions
so just remove the ". /etc/rc.d/functions" command from the top of the script, and then every call of stat_busy, stat_done, stat_fail, add_daemon, rm_daemon.
commented on 2011-04-15 10:40 (UTC)
1.1.23-1 wont work with the daemon script @ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Daemon any more, it complains about permissions. Strangely, manual
su -c "/usr/bin/dropboxd &" $USER
does work :/
Anyone have any ideas? As I don't use a DE or Filemanager and start/stop dropbox with wicd upon connect/disconnect.
mtorromeo commented on 2011-04-04 14:22 (UTC)
@pherms: Done.
pherms commented on 2011-04-03 16:36 (UTC)
Do you mind adding the following line to your .desktop file? Otherwise KDE waits till timeout for a window to open when dropbox starts.
StartupNotify=false
mtorromeo commented on 2011-03-31 14:10 (UTC)
Yes but it tries to modify it at runtime, not at install time. It also asks you for your root credentials, and you shouldn't give them if you don't want dropbox to mess with your system.
Anyway this is not a problem of the PKGBUILD, if this is an issue for you file a bug report upstream.

I would say that's pretty conclusive proof that it modifies /etc/fstab for me anyway. :)
commented on 2011-03-21 18:21 (UTC)
@Awebb
You are right, the installer modifies /etc/fstab, although it asks you before if you want to
"activate advanced features" or something like that,
and then asks for the root password.

I backed up my fstab file before install, ran diff and I didn't find any changes.

Is there a reason why only dropboxd is linked to /usr/bin and not dropbox?

mtorromeo commented on 2011-03-08 16:02 (UTC)
@Awebb: I also don't have any problem.
Dropbox shouldn't be able to edit /etc/fstab anyway, unless you run it from root.
sschober commented on 2011-03-08 12:39 (UTC)
@Awebb:
No problem here. Inspecting the package i don't see where the change to /etc/fstab is supposed to happen...
Awebb commented on 2011-03-05 10:32 (UTC)
Make sure you backup your /etc/fstab before installing this package.
The installer will comment out your "/home" line, copy it to a new line and add ",user_xattr".
I wouldn't have noticed, but it also adds the line "# Commented out by Dropbox".
The changes are relevant for DB to work properly and they don't do any harm, but I don't appreciate messing with my system files without informing me about that.
Maybe you should consider creating a .install file to tell the user what happened.

exterm commented on 2010-07-22 14:21 (UTC)
Yes, they have always been quite unclear about this. They had 0.7.110 as stable forum build for months before putting it on the official download page. Don't know why. I can understand you want to wait for it to become "more official". I will check the download page from time to time to see if it has been updated and report back here.
mtorromeo commented on 2010-07-22 13:15 (UTC)
It doesn't seem clear to me. They said they removed the experimental tagline, but it still is a "forum build" and the version downloaded following this link http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86 is still 0.7.110, so unless there is a clear statement that 0.8 is the official "stable" version I am unflagging this.

enedene: You have to download the complete archive that contains additional required files. The PKGBUILD alone is not enough.
Then you can run "makepkg -s" in the directory of the untarred archive.

I get this error:

I'm new to arch, so it's possible that I'm doing something wrong:
1. I downloaded the PKGBUILD package
2. makepkg -s PKGBUILD
Then I get that ERROR.

No. It contains also the X11 application that sits in the tray area but this doesn't contains the nautilus integration.
Check nautilus-dropbox for that.

Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."
Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:
You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of
gpg -k. You should find something like this:yan12125 commented on 2018-08-01 11:41 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 15:13 (UTC) by yan12125)
