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.

@mathomastech No luck here neither - with the suggested instructions (I also have a fresh install of Arch - but must confirm I kept my old /home partition). First haven't been able to get a prompt screen for login information, too. But if you start dropbox and disconnect from internet and delete the .dropbox folder after a while Dropbox asks you for the internet connection (so you get a prompt). After klicking try again and reconnecting to the internet you can enter your login information. The problem just was when I was able to enter the login information - dropbox didn't accept the information and told me > an error occured. try again. < But perhaps it works out for you.

@rickysheaves No luck here. Got a fresh install of Arch. Attempted your instructions, as well as the method @akael suggested. I haven't been able to get a prompt screen for my login information.

jpaul commented on 2014-03-10 14:44 (UTC)

@rickysheaves Yep it worked for me.

It's very nice of you to post an alternative pkgbuild. But what should this flagging out of date helps anyone? I see this one updated last on 2014-03-05 which is only a couple of days ago and the project is highly commented with remarks a few hours ago. So nothing is really out of date here?!

lots0logs commented on 2014-03-08 23:09 (UTC)

The current PKGBUILD does not result in a working installation of Dropbox so I flagged it out-of-date. I'll post a corrected PKGBUILD later today if time allows.

newkular commented on 2014-03-08 10:24 (UTC)

Here's what worked for me: 1. Install this AUR package. 2. Download https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/dropbox.py from the official Dropbox site. 3. Run the script: python2 dropbox.py start -i 4. You'll be prompted to download the Dropbox engine. Accept. 5. You'll then be prompted to configure your installation and log in to the service. 6. Once logged in, stop dropbox (the instance spawned from the python script). 7. Delete ~/.dropbox-dist 8. Restart Dropbox from your start menu or reboot. YMMV

Can't make this package work. Dropbox is installed all right, but I can't configure it. So I can't connect to my Dropbox account.

Yes, it has to work this way, because you have all permissions in your home directory. The point is it does not work with a system-wide install.
