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.

Do desktop notifications simply not work for anyone besides me? I have this installed on two different Arch machines, and neither of them give me desktop notifications when a file change happens (contrary to my settings in preferences). This used to work a long time ago :/

Ok, so GTK is needed, but for what exactly? I've managed to install the generic Dropbox Linux package on several different distros (including Arch) with no GTK present, and it's worked fine...

@mattalex, From the wiki "A pop-up will notify you that Dropbox is running from an unsupported location. Click on Don't ask again since you know that you have installed it from AUR rather than from the official homepage."

It's giving me "Dropbox is running from an unsupported location. [Don't Ask Again] [Install Dropbox Correctly]"

Long time Linux end-user, new to Arch/Manjaro (using Manjaro 0.8.3). I was unable to install this dropbox AUR using either packer or yaourt; though I had no trouble with any other AUR installation. What did work flawlesly was following the generic Linux instructions from Dropbox: How to Install Dropbox via command line The Dropbox daemon works fine on all 32-bit and 64-bit Linux servers. To install, run the following command in your Linux terminal. 32-bit: cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf - 64-bit: cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf - Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder. ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd If you're running Dropbox on your server for the first time, you'll be asked to copy and paste a link in a working browser to create a new account or add your server to an existing account. Once you do, your Dropbox folder will be created in your home directory. Then simply run: packer -S thunar-dropbox to get all the context-menu controls. Is there some basic assumption that you expect everyone to know (that new users don't), or does this package not work on Manjaro?

If they weren't necessary, then namcap would say 'dependency [package] is not needed'

luolimao commented on 2013-01-13 22:36 (UTC)

Yes (see output of namcap): https://gist.github.com/4526568 Note the wxgtk and dbus-glib shared libs in /opt/dropbox

Pikidalto commented on 2013-01-13 20:00 (UTC)

Are the gtk and dbus dependencies really necessary? What are they needed for?

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-01-11 20:57 (UTC)

@anonymous_user: Yeah, I have rm -r .dropbox lots of time, the problem seems to be that the initial link screen simply doesn't show up. I'll wait for the next version to come out to try that one, if that doesn't work then I'll probably report a bug. Thanks for the help.
