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 have had the same problems as TioDuke and had to downgrade and block auto-upgrading to be able to use Dropbox again. It would not sync (at least not upload changes) otherwise. Very little buzz around this online, though, so many people are not experiencing this? (forum discussion: http://tinyurl.com/pkcyuf7)

I believe that the recent qt updates fixed the icon issue (it did on 3 systems of mine -- but i'm using gnome3).

The setup file is not working - I get an error after "makepkg -si": cp: cannot stat '/home/dijak/Downloads/dropbox/src/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-3.4.3': No such file or directory

TioDuke commented on 2015-04-12 10:17 (UTC)

Has anyone had any problems symc'ing files in subfolders? I realised that only files under ~/Dropbox and ~/Dropbox/Public get sync'ed since version 3.4.x. The only way for other subfolders to sync, is to restart de daemon. I had to revert to 3.2.9 to have sync'ing working again.

Here KDE Frameworks 5.9.0, Plasma 5.2.2. I modified PKGBUILD for the dropbox 3.4.3 and installed it. The icon in the system tray is still missing, but the app works. Even with the trick from Thaodan.

rubenvb commented on 2015-04-02 12:09 (UTC)

Although not present on the website as a release (only release candidate), the client currently downloads dropbox 3.4.1 into ~/.dropbox-dist and runs that instead. Would it be possible to update this package?

Thaodan commented on 2015-03-28 01:36 (UTC)

you should at Environment=DISPLAY=:0 to the systemd --user service to make the tray icon a fix to do this without editing the file is: cat .config/systemd/user/dropbox.service.d/env.conf [Service] Environment=DISPLAY=:0

Hi I just experienced the same issue with owncloud-client (depends: qtkeychain-qt5 qt5-webkit hicolor-icon-theme). It used to depend on qt4.

wooque commented on 2015-03-16 11:54 (UTC)

@resio Experienced same thing. Fresh Arch + minimal Xfce install, Dropbox starts but doesn't show GUI for login. As it worked before on past installation, I investigate what package could be missing and found out that Dropbox needs libxslt, after that it's launching GUI and working fine. @mtorromeo libxslt as dependency?
