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.

@ncage: Awesome!

@InvisibleRasta: which patch did you refer? If the one mentioned by @alex.forencich - it's reported to be broken, and it patches the dropbox-cli package, not this one.

ncage commented on 2018-12-01 00:01 (UTC)

@yan1212 thanks for the reply. After much research i found out its actually a dropbox/gnome issue. It has been broken since gnome 3.28. I spelled out the details at: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installation-and-desktop-app/Latest-Dropbox-Client-for-Linux-is-broken-for-the-latest-version/m-p/314765#M57918

would it be possible for you to add the unsupported filesystem patch to this

yan12125 commented on 2018-11-13 12:07 (UTC)

@ncage: most likely you need to install optional dependencies of this package - perl-file-mimeinfo and/or xdg-utils. Running dropbox from a terminal should help you diagnose the problem, too.

ncage commented on 2018-11-13 02:00 (UTC)

Everything is working except when i click "Open Dropbox Folder" menu item. I'm running gnome. Anyone have a clue?

yan12125 commented on 2018-11-10 02:20 (UTC)

@alex.forencich: Did you test it? Looks like it has been broken some time per https://github.com/dimaryaz/dropbox_ext4/issues/2

alex.forencich commented on 2018-11-08 07:33 (UTC)

This should be incorporated in to this package to keep dropbox working on non-ext4 filesystems: https://github.com/dimaryaz/dropbox_ext4 .

t.langlois commented on 2018-10-24 09:34 (UTC)

I'm receiving an advice from Dropbox in order to put the Dropbox folder on an ext4 partition but it is already the case. Is it a glitch in their type of partition detection scheme or are they sending this to all users ? If this is not the right place for this kind of question, tell me.

yan12125 commented on 2018-10-18 11:45 (UTC)

Thanks @fra-san for various test results. I'll keep this package as-is - no dropping dropbox@.service, no changes to dropbox.service.
