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.
Not possible to install, something is wrong with the download link:

@wooque I wrote some time ago a fork of this package that always download the latest version of Dropbox, unfortunately it was removed from AUR and I can't find it on my work PC. But, I found this project in github that use the same idea. With it, you can install always the latest version:
@mtorromeo is there a chance that package will be updated
The simplest and best way: https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux
Disowning this package as I haven't used Dropbox for a long time.

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.
