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.

This package needs an update. Running old version cause high CPU on some setups. @yan12125

Dropbox 64 fixes tray icon on XFCE, LXDE, MATE and Gnome. I guess more dependencies are necessary as the release note [1] mentions libappindicator. Please tell me if you got the tray icon work with extra packages and I'll add them to optdepends.

@amatriain: in my experience pgp.mit.edu is unstable. You may want to choose another keyserver or download Dropbox's public key manually (see the updated pinned comment).

I'm getting an error when importing the gpg key:

$ gpg --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Also when I search the key in pgp.mit.edu I get no results. Maybe it's been revoked?

Thank you @alex.forencich! I made your comment pinned.

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.
