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.

@PlugaruT Latest version is 3.8.6

Why this package is flagged out?

@alex.forencich The most generic solution I could come up with is adding "ReadOnlyDirectories=/home/%u/.dropbox-dist" to the systemd service file. There is no guarantee that the user's home is located in /home/USERNAME though and %h can only be used in systemd user instances.

The systemd script does not work correctly if dropbox can auto-update. If an update to dropbox gets installed in ~/.dropbox-dist, the executable that the systemd script tries to run will pass control to the new version in ~/.dropbox-dist and then die. Systemd will restart it automatically, causing a conflict. The solution appears to be to disable auto-update by deleting ~/.dropbox-dist and recreating it with no permissions. Not sure if there is a more permanent solution implemented as part of the package.

Looks like 3.8.5 is out: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.8.5.tar.gz

The start of the Dropbox website from tray icon no longer works. Imposible to open URI << file:///tmp/dbx....... >> Problems with the "tmp-file." File or directory not found. Same as gorki.b Do you need more information ?

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-06-23 21:24 (UTC)

is it possible to add "gvfs-set-attribute /home/*user*/Dropbox metadata::custom-icon-name folder-dropbox" to the install script? That way custom folder themes for dropbox can take effect

3.6.7 is out :)
