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 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

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)

Made a workaround to change Dropbox path and have funcional dropbox-cli commands, inspiration and information about startup script etc from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Multiple_Dropbox_Instances Basicly the alias "dropbox" just temporarily changes your $HOME before running a dropbox-cli command to make it adopt that home aswell. The way I did it ofc depends on dropbox-cli which is linked to above. Btw, when you install notice the recent PKGBUILD update by bruce! I think it's possible to start the daemon etc without cli in the same manner as long as your $HOME is set right. And also this can be extented upon to make working for multiple dropbox instances. But that's for you to figure out if you want. Anyways the difference from normal dropbox-cli command execution compared to the new way will be: old way: /usr/bin/dropbox start <enter> new way: dropbox <enter> start <enter> So just add this below to your .bashrc and set your own dropbox_path (if on other partition make sure it's mounted with the right permissions). The only thing that i've found does NOT work is the "autostart" option which also can be worked around in many ways (link above) #******************************** # Redirect dropbox-cli commands # to change Dropbox's home path #******************************** dropbox_path="/mnt/data" user_path="/home/`logname`" dropbox_cli='/usr/bin/dropbox' set_home_dropbox="HOME=$dropbox_path" set_home_home="HOME=$user_path" alias dropbox="read -p '[Dropbox@'"$dropbox_path"']> ' input;\ $set_home_dropbox; $dropbox_cli \$input; $set_home_home;"
