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.

Since 2.6.x, I cannot get Dropbox to work. I keep getting the following error: VerificationError: importing '/home/cgirard/dropbox/__pycache__/_cffi__xbf6971a3x934c2e3e.so': No module named _cffi__xbf6971a3x934c2e3e I've tried the dropbox.py method which give me a working dropbox in dropbox-dist but that's about it. Any idea? (2.4.10 works fine)

Hi again, and thanks for all the work. 2.8.2 is out: -Fix for notification message that kept coming back. -Updated Translations

Woohoo, half the install size! I love saving space (yeah, I'm strange lol) It won't change in the future (and if it does, it'd mean a new PKGBUILD, which means can check manually) but yes, you could always use something like: if diff dropbox library.zip >/dev/null; then echo "Files are the same - remove one and create symlink" rm -f library.zip ln -s dropbox library.zip fi (might need some paths and stuff adding in, but you see the idea)

zizzfizzix commented on 2014-05-19 14:13 (UTC)

Perhaps you could make it compare the checksums in case it changes in the future?

Updated to 2.8.0 @dennis123123: thanks for the tip

dennis123123 commented on 2014-05-17 09:52 (UTC)

Also FYI (to save me filing a bug report) the file "library.zip" and "dropbox" are identical (md5sum) - so to save 21MB of disk space, you can delete library.zip (it's not even a zip file), and then create a symlink to "dropbox" named "library.zip" (it doesn't start unless it sees that file)

Hi 2.8.0 is out: -Prompt to selective sync in the setupwizard for large Dropboxes. -Notification when your hard disk is full. -New icons in the tray popup.

tbi commented on 2014-05-12 19:19 (UTC)

hey there! works pretty well. But I have the problem, that files or folders with umlauts (german language) in their filename won't sync. Any idea how to resolve this?

mtorromeo commented on 2014-05-08 07:58 (UTC)

Updated to 2.6.33 and implemented user systemd service file (not tested).
