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.

Sorry, didnt mean to flag out of date. I was using the in-repo version which was v2.8

jvybihal: this is not dropbox-experimental

I'd suggest revisiting dependencies. This PKGBUILD now installs 2.11.9 version, which is in QT. http://www.webupd8.org/2014/07/dropbox-ui-rewritten-in-qt-for-latest.html

Hi adambot, with 2.10.29 I am no longer seeing a ~/.dropbox-dist directory. I might be misunderstaning something, but I used to see this in the past and am not seeing it now, I placed a temporary out of date template on that section of the Arch Wiki article on Dropbox. Do you know whether this is something that has been deprecated in the design of Dropbox?

2.10.27 is available [1]. I can't access more from dl.dropboxusercontent.com, so maybe you should get from: https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net/client/${pkgname}-lnx.${_source_arch}-{$pkgver}.tar.gz [1] https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=118678

My Out-Of-Date flag was in error, sorry about that. The release I am looking at is the devel branch. Linux client 2.11.0 was posted 3 days ago, release notes and links are [here][1]. Looks like this is a bit of a UI rewrite and will need more than a simple version bump in the package when it does get released. [1] https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=118006
