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.

@idanka: are you using a AUR helper like yay or alike? If so, do not run them as root! Also do import the keys as user not as root.

idanka commented on 2020-09-18 21:05 (UTC)

@ gothicVI I use Manjaro Gnome 20.1 pamac gtk 9.5.10-1/ aur / install dropbox 105 ... / Build error pgp

Tray icon no longer visible since todays update. Otherwise it seems to run fine tho.

I have (a) problem(s): Although I imported the key via 'sudo gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc' Dropbox will not be installed: ... ==> Überprüfe Signaturen der Quell-Dateien mit gpg... dropbox-lnx.x86_64-104.4.175.tar.gz ... FEHLGESCHLAGEN (Unbekannter öffentlicher Schlüssel FC918B335044912E) ==> FEHLER: Eine oder mehrere PGP-Signaturen konnten nicht überprüft werden! Fehler beim Erstellen von dropbox ... What can I do?

brandon.arnold commented on 2020-08-26 19:23 (UTC)

@wooque I guess the dropbox tray picks up different methods of showing generating the sign in link, then, depending on the environment. For me, it did not work until I installed Qt5, and qt5-base is one method out of quite a few of doing that. I'm sure GTK is also adequate.

wooque commented on 2020-08-26 07:46 (UTC)

I don't have qt5-base neither and I just successfully signed in my account

brandon.arnold commented on 2020-08-26 05:29 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-26 05:29 (UTC) by brandon.arnold)

I recommend adding qt5-base as a dependency. The Sign In dialog doesn't work without Qt5, which I just learned trying to get this package to work in my i3 system tray.
