I just disowned the dropbox-daemon AUR package as I have moved to systemd, and it's really easy to set up dropbox as a daemon with it. If anyone's on initscripts and wants to adopt the package, now's your time. Also, if you do want to run dropbox as a daemon under systemd, just make a service file with the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=Dropbox
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dropboxd
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=process
Restart=always
User=<desired username>
[Install]

Like Nerga I also couldnt change the Dropbox location in 1.4.17, however I went on to build 1.4.12 and it still doesn't work!
mkdir /tmp/dropbox && cd /tmp/dropbox
wget --quiet -O - 'http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/tree/dropbox?id=b19a54c808554c796f310747725ad2ff4291e44a' | grep -o "/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/[^']*" | sed -e 's/^/http:\/\/pkgbuild.com/' > files
wget -qi files
ls | sed -n 's/\([^?]*\)\(.*\)/mv "\1\2" "\1"/p' | sh
makepkg -s
pacman -U dropbox*.pkg.tar.xz

does anyone experience a segfault?
Narga commented on 2012-09-08 00:37 (UTC)
I don't know why but since Dropbox 1.4.17, it's can't change Dropbox location
mtorromeo commented on 2012-09-03 12:12 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay, I updated the package.

I couldn't find anywhere on the dropbox site where they published md5sums of their downloads so I did my own checksum. Is that what you normally do when maintaining this package?
Here is a git diff of PKGBUILD which worked for me using the md5sum I generated locally after downloading it manually. It works for me, but I've only tested on one machine and only on x86_64. I'm knew to trying to help with AUR packages, so I hope this helps.

1.4.17 fixes the 2-Step Verification. For time being I changed pkgver and skipped md5sums check.

Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."
Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:
You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of
gpg -k
. You should find something like this:yan12125 commented on 2018-08-01 11:41 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 15:13 (UTC) by yan12125)
If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.
