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.

Note: If you have set QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE to gtk in Xfce/others, you'll need to modify the launcher/startup command to: 'env -u QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE dropboxd'

Thanks JB26. I find the workaround in the comments make sense cgirard.

The missing trayicon seems to be a bug in qt5: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31762 I also found a workaround for the missing icon, try starting dropbox with strace: strace dropboxd &> /dev/zero I have no idea why that is working. It seems to be driver related: nvidia-340xx --> icon working out of the box nouveau & intel --> icon not working "strace dropboxd" works for both nouveau & intel.

Guys, just stop this! This is not a bugtracker for Dropbox. We do not need a comment at every release to tell us the icon is broken for each display manager ever created.

3.0.4-1 didn't fixed the problem, at least in xfce,

aryklein commented on 2014-12-18 13:15 (UTC)

In Xfce, disabling the display compositing and restarting dropboxd service makes the icon reappears. Anyway is not a solution for me.

Cinnamon here as well. Icon looks different from v2, but works perfectly otherwise.

clfarron4 commented on 2014-12-17 18:46 (UTC)

I've just come over from dropbox-experimental to this package and I still have the icon showing in the system tray in the Cinnamon. No idea about other DEs.
