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.

@mtorromeo: Could you add the argument -f to the gendesk so that previous .desktop files are overwritten? That solves @jfly's problem.

Anyone else seeing this error when installing?

==> Starting prepare()...
[dropbox]                         Generating desktop file... no
dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to overwrite it.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().

I've worked around this for now by commenting out the prepare block.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't look back in the history! I see this was mentioned way back in 2020: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox/?O=20&PP=10#comment-754071

@acyment: The dropbox-lnx.x86_64-130.4.4978.tar.gz file didn't pass the validity check. Try pulling the AUR repo again, run makepkg again, see if that works. If not, run makepkg --geninteg and compare the sha256sums with the ones in the PKGBUILD.

Similar to what others have commented, I am now getting this error:

    dropbox@.service ... Passed

   dropbox-lnx.x86_64-130.4.4978.tar.gz ... FAILED

gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E

works for me as suggested here https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/dropbox-install-from-aur/1871

I think this package needs to be upgraded to version

121.4.4267-1

xavierbaez commented on 2021-05-03 20:44 (UTC)

My dropbox says it's not the latest version I have package dropbox 120.4.4598-1 Dropbox Linux version 96.4.172

The dropbox client is auto-updating in your homedir, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dropbox#Prevent_automatic_updates
