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.

I cann't download anything from dl-web.dropbox.com. Can someone upload dropbox-lnx.x86_64-2.2.13.tar.gz file to other file sharing for me, thank.

@krzychusan: see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Run_as_daemon_with_systemd

krzychusan commented on 2013-08-15 16:18 (UTC)

It makes under my arch /usr/lib/systemd/system/dropbox@.service instead of dropbox.service Renaming and it works great I guess. Any idea why this is marked as not actual?

@oconnor663 Which network manager do you use? As for NetworkManager I suggest to use networkmanager-dispatcher-dropbox: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/networkmanager-dispatcher-dropbox/

oconnor663 commented on 2013-08-02 18:44 (UTC)

Maybe someone mentioned this before, but dropboxd doesn't seem to ever find the network if it's started before the network is up. The wiki contains a workaround for this. Could we just integrate the workaround with the package? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Connecting...

@spartanroc, @bobbaluba, and @CaioAlonso. I was having the same issue, until I found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165892. In summary, if your dropbox folder is on an ntfs partition, make sure its mount path contains no spaces, and add "default_permissions" to the mount options of that partition in /etc/fstab.

I successfully downgraded the dropbox to 2.0.26 and now everything works. Here is what I did for those who suffering the same problem: Download the tarball and extract it to a directory like /var/abs/local/ Change the file PKGBUILD: pkgver=2.0.26 makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD makepkg -f -L sudo pacman -U dropbox-2.0.26-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz then restart your dropbox
