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.

@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

@bobbaluba and @CaioAlonso: I am having the same problem with 2.2.9. It worked fine in the beginning after I updated to 2.2.9. Then I added a new folder from another machine. Suddenly this machine stuck at "downloading xxx files...". I kept quiting dropbox and then restarting it. Each time I got one more file downloaded and then it stuck there.

@darkvenger: yep, it is working fine here.

@bobbaluba and @CaioAlonso the problem is not a general one. I've been updating it and didn't have a problem so far.

@bobbaluba: same here.

Anyone else had problems syncing lately? It's stuck at "downloading xxx files..." My friend who's using chakra also has this issue. This started around the 21st for both of us.
