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.

Randomly getting stuck on connecting without any out of the ordinary logs, both during runtime and sometimes even right after starting the app. Is there any workaround?

rellieberman commented on 2024-04-06 21:27 (UTC)

Is there a way to get dropbox to work with dbus-broker? Or is reverting to debs-daemon the only option for now?

@bauminao It may not be your issue but I noticed after upgrading to dbus-broker the notification icon menu would always be stuck on "Connecting", even though in the background it was connected. Some kind of incompatibility between Dropbox and dbus-broker. Reverting to dbus-daemon fixed it.

Is there a problem currently on dropbox? My Client cannot connect (and update data). I do not exactly know when this started, but at least "today" it is stuck on "connecting" without any additional message.

Tried to re-init everything. Icon shows a second the "sync"-symbol but then nothing more happens.

dropbox.desktop already exists. Use -f as the first argument to overwrite it.

Refuses to build automatically in an environment where dropbox.desktop has been preserved.

I have not experienced any crashing, and do not have pyqt5 installed.

behzad commented on 2023-11-15 10:04 (UTC)

dropbox service kept crashing randomly or when interacting with the ui and installing pyqt5 seems to have fixed it. Is it a dependancy?

Wild_Penguin commented on 2023-09-11 16:53 (UTC)

I'm, using KDE Plasma, so definitely different GUI backend / libraries. I'm actually confused what dropbox uses as the backend natively.

hildigerr commented on 2023-09-11 14:31 (UTC)

I'm using dropbox with libappindicator-gtk3 and not having any issues (using LXPanel). Maybe your panel application is to blame?

Wild_Penguin commented on 2023-09-11 11:56 (UTC)

Hi,

If I install libappindicator-gtk3, the submenus in the tray icon ("Recently Changed Files", "Snooze Notifications") cease to function. Also, sometimes the whole menu opens mostly offscreen (outside the bottom part of the screen), however reopening it fill work around the latter issue.

Just FYI (and everyone else): In case you prefer functionality over theming, removing the package and context menus will work, but of course without the desired theming.

Any idea if dropbox or libappindicator is the culprit here?

FWIW I haven't tested with libappindicator-bzr.
