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 am using Manjaro Gnome. So, what can I do?

servimo commented on 2019-09-07 11:12 (UTC) (edited on 2019-09-07 11:13 (UTC) by servimo)

I just changed the permissions of "libdropbox_apex.so" and it is working. It's permissions was to only root could read or write.

After the last update it doesn't work anymore:

Same problem as @wooque. The issue is that apex._apex.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so depends on libdropbox_apex.so that cannot be loaded even if it is available in the same directory.

libdropbox_apex is located at /opt/dropbox/libdropbox_apex.so

When I pause syncing, dropbox almost always crashes after a period of time. This has been happening for some time. Anyone else?

Dropbox is now spawning 2 tray icons after bootup, and creates another one for every click you perform on any of those icons. And those icons are getting plenteous very quickly...

wooque commented on 2019-07-20 10:45 (UTC)

After 77.4.131-1 update Dropbox is using monospace font for interface, which is ugly
