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.

https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 points to 31.4.24 yesterday, yet it changed back to 30.4.23 this morning. I believe that's because 31.4.24 has big problems on Windows [1]. I synced my files on several Arch boxes with 31.4.24 today and see no issues, so I decide to stay with 31.4.24. If you got problems with 31.4.24 while 30.4.23 is fine, please tell me and I'll downgrade this package. Update: Dropbox just releases 31.4.25 and https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 points to this version. I guess they've fixed the problem.

I unflagged it as the official download link still points to dropbox-lnx.x86_64-30.4.22.tar.gz, and there's no news about 30.4.23 on Desktop client builds announcements [1]. I suspect it not a real stable version. @timofonic: how did you get those URLs? Any clue that's a stable release? [1] https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/bd-p/101003016

Outdated.... https://clientupdates.dropboxstatic.com/dbx-releng/client/dropbox-lnx.x86-30.4.23.tar.gz https://clientupdates.dropboxstatic.com/dbx-releng/client/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-30.4.23.tar.gz

@LukeLR fakeroot is in group base-devel, which is an implied dependency of makepkg.

user20159 commented on 2017-07-16 07:06 (UTC)

Since installation requires fakeroot, it should be listed as a dependency.

Hello, Dropbox's server has changed something so that update.sh is broken. I have to change this line: grep -P '^Location:' into grep -iP '^Location:' Although that script is not directly related to this package, it's useful for those who want to build latest dropbox packages locally. Could you consider fixing update.sh?

See https://www.dropbox.com/help/security/official-domains if concerned about domain change.

Dropbox uses a new URL scheme for the latest version (23.4.19): $ curl --head "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | grep 'Location:' % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 Location: https://clientupdates.dropboxstatic.com/dbx-releng/client/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-23.4.19.tar.gz Could you change it? As mentioned below, dropboxusercontent is not so trustyworthy.

My Dropbox is 21.4.25., out of date. I have a file called dropbox-update-22.4.24.tar.gz in .dropbox.cache . How can I make Dropbox update? Notes: I have dropbox-cli and I always run Dropbox in Firejail like firejail dropbox.

My "dynamic mod" still works with 19.4.13... Not so bad after all ;)
