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.

@wfraser, or you could use the known hack to stop Dropbox from updating itself automatically (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Hack_to_stop_Auto_Update) and update it only through AUR.

For me at least, the first thing the client does is download a newer version into my home directory, and on subsequent runs, it switches to that version, which then KILLS (literally, with SIGKILL) the one in /usr/bin/dropbox that I originally executed. This doesn't play nicely with things like systemd units which expect the original process to stay around. Might I suggest changing /usr/bin/dropbox from a symlink to /opt/dropbox/dropbox, to something like the following: #!/bin/sh dist="$HOME/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd" # this is where dropbox puts the updated version if [ -x $dist ]; then exec $dist fi exec /opt/dropbox/dropbox

I don't trust the validity of the mirrors. Please validate your mirrors.

I realize that "cloudfront" is listed as an official mirror in dropbox help site but it is still hard to validate the authenticity of the package since cloudfront is a CDN not specific to dropbox. Could you please suggest another method of validation. :) PS: That said, I understand why you need to use the cloudfront packages. The official dropbox linux source codes hosted in dropbox are way outdated.

If someone have a problem with the Tray Icon on KDE/Plasma 5 i have posted a solution that worked for me on the Dropbox Forum: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/201908279-Systray-icon-not-showing-in-KDE-Plasma-5-2?page=2#community_comment_207660876

For those still wondering if cloudfront.net is an official Dropbox release location, the answer is YES: https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/217

Anyone seeing the following issue with their startup service? I see this: dropbox@XXX.service: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/bin/dropbox: No such process I'm also unclear whether it should be dropbox@foo@bar.com.service or just dropbox@foo.service

The current version segfaults for me. In case anyone else has that problem. Installing the experimental version worked.
