I get the same error as @acdw. Adding '-f' to gendesk in PKGCONFIG worked, although I had also to install dropbox-filesystem-fix from https://github.com/dark/dropbox-filesystem-fix
Why libappindicator-gtk3 for plasma? Plasma supports the StatusNotifer spec out of the box and dropbox is no GTK app.
Thank you for your time. Grat job.

@acdw: as a hacky workaround you can modify PKGBUILD and add the specified flag (-f) to the gendesk command in the prepare() function.
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.
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.
Thanks, now it works :).
Download issue fixed
Here you have my forked package as I said before:
https://github.com/figue/aur/tree/master/dropbox-latest
The other one is not maintained by me.

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