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

If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.

This won't run for me either with the 3.x version, similar to @trapangle. Looking around, it appears to be this bug for which there's no real fix for yet aside from pinning to a lower version of dropbox. https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201559405-Dropbox-3-x-doesn-t-work-on-CentOS-6-5-but-2-x-does-

Hey, any way to got dropbox system tray indicator in plasma 5 without the ugly wmsystemtray ? I have seen in the article of Martin Graesslin ( http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/ ), is it possible to package Dropbox with Qt5.4 wich support Status Notifier instead of XEmbed ? I understand that you do not have access to sources of Dropbox, but maybe you can do something :)

trapangle commented on 2015-02-21 12:00 (UTC)

Can't get it to work anymore. I removed any dropbox file from my whole system (64 bits - XFCE) and reinstalled this package and thunar-dropbox from the AUR. When I start it using applications menu, or "dropbox" in command line, or /opt/dropbox/dropbox, or /opt/dropbox/dropboxd, the process starts without any error, but no icon in the notification area (I checked it's not set to "hidden"), no window opens (not sure if that's supposed to happen) and the files are not synchronized.

mtorromeo, I think what you said makes sense, dropbox-cli is the package which should be updated. I suggested an edit to it in its page.

aaronjameslang commented on 2015-02-13 12:44 (UTC)

I think it's reasonable for the dropbox package to have a command `dropbox`, and the dropbox-cli package to have a command called `dropbox-cli`. If users disagree they can symlink/alias to their heart's content, but the default names should be as least-surprising as possible. Looking at the dropbox-cli page, a similar solution has been suggested there.

mtorromeo commented on 2015-02-13 08:06 (UTC)

I don't use dropbox-cli so I missed the conflict. The dropbox "source" always provided both "dropbox" and "dropboxd" binaries but I decided to link only dropboxd to /usr/bin since it was the wrapper necessary to make it work. Now "dropboxd" has become useless and I changed the link. I am fine removing the link altogether, so that you would have to launch it by /opt/dropbox/dropbox or with the provided desktop file. What do you think about this?

cfr42 commented on 2015-02-12 22:41 (UTC)

This isn't a conflict with itself but, as thiagowfx says, with dropbox-cli. It would be good to know if the change made in the PKGBUILD here reflects a change in dropbox or not, and whether there is an alternative way of getting the functionality currently provided by dropbox-cli. I'm not clear whether it is simply a case of dropbox-cli being out of date (either the package or upstream), or whether it is a problem with changes made to the packaging of dropbox. Whereas previously, dropbox sym linked using /usr/bin/dropboxd, now it is using /usr/bin/dropbox which, of course, conflicts with dropbox-cli.

The tray icon works with dropboxd and with the systemd service, both using KDE. Major props!

thiagowfx commented on 2015-02-12 15:40 (UTC)

This conflicts with the dropbox-cli package now.

For some reason dropbox seems to conflict with itself, I got this when trying to upgrade: aura >>= Building `dropbox`... loading packages... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the dropbox package?
