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: thanks for including the service file! @darkvenger: true thing, but for the disconnection problem a networkermanager dispatcher (if you're using that) will be needed, too. Dropbox sometimes just gets stuck and never reconnects again if your net is gone for a while...

I get a permission error with the new PKGBUILD http://slexy.org/view/s203lf5kzR

@darkvenger: Thanks, I updated the service file

darkvenger commented on 2012-11-19 22:03 (UTC)

Hello, I suggest you add After=local-fs.target network.target to the Unit section of the systemd service file since dropbox may never connect if it was started when no internet connection existed.

Updated to version 1.6.0. I also included a systemd service file just like the one provided by aur/systemd-dropbox-daemon

surfmaths commented on 2012-11-16 09:35 (UTC)

There a patch for upgrading to 1.4.23: http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/453235

A tip for others that also can't change the Dropbox location from the installation wizard: When the window is shown for changing the path, hit CTRL+L, enter the location (e.g. /mnt/data/Dropbox) and click on the 'Choose' button. (Haven't tried the Enter-key, navigating to the directory doesn't work, so you need to enter it manually) It works for me, Dropbox now sync the folder /mnt/data/Dropbox.

Vote +1 for including a systemd-service-file. It seems rather silly that you need another package just to get the service-file, and archlinux has switched to systemd entirely, so... To use it without a hardcoded username, it can be done with the %l-variable, like this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47493 (see comment 12/10/2012 by Wonder Woofy)
