Dropbox install from aur

General system
1

I just installed EndeavourOS on a desktop,

When attempting to install dropbox from aur using yay, I get the error:

==> PGP keys need importing:
 -> 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E, required by: dropbox
==> Import? [Y/n] 
:: Importing keys with gpg......
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
==> Error: Problem importing keys

I also get a similar error when trying to use makepkg:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dropbox.git
cd dropbox/
makepkg -S
.......
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
    dropbox-lnx.x86-82.4.155.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key FC918B335044912E)
    dropbox-lnx.x86_64-82.4.155.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key FC918B335044912E)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

I am able to update the system with sudo pacman -Syu
I have not explicitly set a firewall or additional security, so I am not sure what the problem is.
Are there any other steps I need to take after install? Thanks.

unknown public key FC918B335044912E


gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
==> Error: Problem importing keys

you need to add the key first and this was failing before on using yay, may try it manually:
gpg --recv-keys FC918B335044912E

I’m getting the same error when I try

$ gpg --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

proxy involved?

It’s possible as several wifi logins seem to be enabled at this rental. Is there a way to bypass the proxy server?
Same problem with
gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu FC918B335044912E

hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80

as keyserver may help, it specify the port

Thanks. That worked with a different keyserver.

$ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 FC918B335044912E
gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 FC918B335044912E gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys FC918B335044912E 
gpg: key FC918B335044912E: 3 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key FC918B335044912E: public key "Dropbox Automatic Signing Key <linux@dropbox.com>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
