@lamego.pinto: You are not even downloading the specific pkgver so your PKGBUILD will break at every release.

Please update with links to the official dropbox client download site:
I have done and tested, you can get it from:

Thank you for this package! New stable release 3.14.5 is available now: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/205672126-Stable-Build-3-14-5

That was an official location. And I updated the URL anyway so please drop this argument already...

I also have some concerns, for that I observe a strange behaviour where dropbox continuously upload data ever when everything is synced and there are no reason for uploading a vast quantity of data !
I don't know if it is a bug or an intended behaviour, but I do not feel easy about having this piece of software coming from unofficial location.
However, comparing the md5sum of the targz with the one from https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 gives the same results

@joelpet, I also see the cloudfront URL. I would certainly feel better about this package if the sources were updated to the official ones. For now I think I'll retract my vote.
joelpet commented on 2016-01-28 03:23 (UTC)
I share @ron89's concern that the source is downloaded from a (seemingly) arbitrary Dropbox user's content. I assume the URL was originally taken from https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200210355-Desktop-Client-Builds where official (?) Desktop Client Builds are posted and then just kept the same for each new release. However, when I visit https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203932093-Stable-Build-3-12-6 now, the download URL is instead https://d1ilhw0800yew8.cloudfront.net/client/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.12.6.tar.gz. That file's SHA1 sum (9836b0b37f6d0d7527f4449d3109f2bbaf32d48c) matches the one at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.12.6.tar.gz, and none of the URLs seem to redirect to the other.
Am I alone in seeing the cloudfront.net URL on the Desktop Client Builds page? If not, how about updating PKGBUILD to reflect this change of URL?
Thank you for making this package available.

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.
