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.

The package version is now at 2.4.8 on my machine. But why the dropbox client is already at 2.4.10? Does dropbox automatically update itself now?

rafaelff commented on 2013-12-30 19:08 (UTC)

I set the binary 'dropboxd' in my startup aplication list, so dropbox will always start when I login. That's my suggestion.

@timofonic What happens if you simply start "dropboxd &"?

timofonic commented on 2013-12-30 16:11 (UTC)

I did... systemctl enable dropbox@timofonic systemctl start dropbox@timofonic Dec 30 17:01:43 timostation systemd[1]: dropbox@timofonic.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a Dec 30 17:01:43 timostation systemd[1]: Unit dropbox@timofonic.service entered failed state.

I installed dropbox-cli, but not sure about what to do. I did "dropbox start" and says... % dropbox start To link this computer to a dropbox account, visit the following url: https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link?host_id=censored Despite I do this and dropbox.com says it's correctly linked, the message still persists. I feel being a n00b :P

/usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service

aligator commented on 2013-12-30 13:24 (UTC)

simply start the program "dropboxd" there is no .service...

timofonic commented on 2013-12-30 13:09 (UTC)

@dengzxf I agree! Where's the dropbox.service located at? I did "systemctl start dropbox" but nothing happened :(
