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: ~/.dropbox-dist is not the only folder Dropbox will create - see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1280513#p1280513

@mtorromeo Thanks.

@donniezazen, try this before the next update: rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist

@DullOnion For it opens the Dropbox website in my desired browser. Are you sure that your default browser is correctly set up? For me it is: ~ $ echo $BROWSER chromium

donniezazen commented on 2013-11-06 09:26 (UTC)

@DullOnion It does open file manager for me but not the default one. Instead of opening Dolphin, Dropbox opens Konqueror.

@lahwaacz You were right. After upgrading to 2.4.6 and removing ~/.dropbox-dist, Dropbox service and Network Dispatcher service both have started working. I have posted a feature request to provide an option to control auto-update. Please comment to support. [1] https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=107662

Recently launching the dropbox website from the tray icon has ceased to funciton for me. Terminal output shows that the error is "xdg-open: /tmp/file 'foo.html' does not exist." The file is there, but the browser isn't opening.

Until the maintainer updates the package, run this (as one line) to get and install the latest version: wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dr/dropbox/dropbox.tar.gz -O - | tar xz && cd dropbox && patch PKGBUILD <(wget -q -O - http://sprunge.us/CYei) && makepkg -sci

@donniezazen: you'll have to delete ~/.dropbox-dist/ manually once you install dropbox-2.4.5
