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 guess it was a problem with the cache or with the .dropbox file. Well, at least it works now :)

Delete all file and folder related to dropbox (.dropbox and etc.) in ~/Dropbox 3. Rename folder Dropbox to Dropbox2 4. Uninstall dropbox 5. Delete all file and folder related to dropbox (.dropbox and etc.) in ~/ 6. Install dropbox 7. Copy file from folder Dropbox2 to Dropbox 8. Delete folder Dropbox2 after sync 9. ... 8. PROFIT! :)

The Dropbox folder's mode is 777 ? That seems a bit much, since you only need 755. Anyway, I haven't seen an error like this myself, I can't really see any issues with your setup, and a quick Google search hasn't turned up anything. You can try posting your issue at the Dropbox forums, since they might be able to help you more: https://forums.dropbox.com/

Hello! I have problem whit Dropbox - "can't access Dropbox folder". Please tell me where to find the problem? system x64, folder right set at 777, free 200 GB. Test at version 1.4.12, 1.4.11 and 1.5.12. Thank you! P.S. Sorry for my (and translate.google.com) bad english :)

Sorry my bad, it was just / full, I didn't think about that since nothing else was complaining and the permission error was a bit misleading, anyway it works perfectly now..

hmm, works fine over here. Looks like some conflict with a cache file. Try deleting that .dropbox.cache folder or its contents in your Dropbox.

This version is failing for me to start, with an error like: Traceback (most recent call last): File "core/authenticate.py", line 659, in authentication_thread File "core/authenticate.py", line 71, in handle_register File "core/databases.py", line 722, in load_dropbox_filecache File "core/file_cache.py", line 850, in __init__ File "core/file_cache.py", line 833, in _create_connhub Exception: Not a valid FileCache file I also renamed .dropbox to set it up again but same problem, so I guess it's a problem in the version or something in my system..

@luolimao: thanks for the suggestions, I will update the PKDBUILD accordingly in the soon (1.4.12 only adds support for osx mountain lion so there is no rush) @kitenski: dropbox won't run on arm. this is NOT open source and dropbox provides only i686 and x86_64 binaries.
