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
uid           [ unknown] Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>

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

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.

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.

@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:

https://github.com/manuel-192/dropbox-latest

wooque commented on 2019-04-03 12:11 (UTC)

@mtorromeo is there a chance that package will be updated

vader23 commented on 2019-03-28 15:55 (UTC)

The simplest and best way: https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux

yan12125 commented on 2019-03-18 04:01 (UTC)

Disowning this package as I haven't used Dropbox for a long time.
