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

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

also having problems with the tray icon -- using gnome ... I have to kill the dropbox process and restart it to get the icon to present itself. also cannot check the box to have dropbox start automatically -- it does start automatically but not with the tray icon.

@bluesheep: forgot to add that both extensions are also in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-topicons-plus-git/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator-git/

@bluesheep for the time being you can install the Topicons Plus or Kstatusnotifier/appindicator extensions to get items in the system tray: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

I am using Gnome and have dropbox installed. since Gnome 3.26 there is no system tray anymore, thus there also is no dropbox status icon anymore. When I wanted to open the dropbox settings, previously i went to the status icon, right clicked it and selected "preferences". This is not possible anymore. Trying to open it via the icon in the application menu just starts the application. Is there any way the dropbox settings can be accesed in Gnome 3.26? Please let me know if I overlooked something.

Using Xfce and same thing happening here. Dropbox automatically sets itself to autostart regardless of the option I choose. Solved it (temporarily) by creating an empty dropbox.desktop file in .config/autostart and setting it as immutable with chattr +i
