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.

With the last couple versions, when I try to interact (in Gnome) with the icon in the bottom corner my system acts weird. If I try to open preferences, my system becomes unresponsive, and if I tell it to open dropbox folder my nautilus handling the desktop crashes. Not sure what is causing it.

I ended up disabling the systemd service and using the dropbox.desktop file to auto-start it with my desktop environment and now I have an icon every time. Also I had to point the desktop file to dropbox instead of dropboxd like ItachiSan commented about.

The icon is back for me with version 3.2.6.

playenball commented on 2015-02-11 15:14 (UTC)

Still no tray icon on Mate.

Version 3.2.6 broke the icon, which was working in 3.2.4.

You should edit the dropbox.desktop file as now it points to "dropboxd" executable, when the package offers the "dropbox" one

Icon is back on XFCE!

Also no tray icon on KDE.
