Then just run Dropbox from XFCE applications menu or it may show in system tray. It should open web browser to link your dropbox account.

problem importing keys
[limo@lenovo ~]$
Why me!!!
Even try this one in terminal?
gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
I just tried this keyserver and worked for me.
Nice, this one doesn’t work for me
[lain@wired ~]$ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available
What about manual import
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc
I got below.
[p@arch ~]$ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
gpg: key FC918B335044912E: “Dropbox Automatic Signing Key linux@dropbox.com” not changed

[limo@lenovo ~]$ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys FC918B335044912E
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/home/limo/.gnupg'
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
[limo@lenovo ~]$
No data
Maybe their server is down! Try later perhaps?
Try the manual way once
How to do it?
Run these commands
wget https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc
[limo@lenovo ~]$ wget https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc

[limo@lenovo ~]$ gpg --import rpm-public-key.asc

Thanks a lot flyingcakes and thanks a lot QAP
This forum and you guys are amazing!
nice got there in end! welcome to forum and spread the word!
Just curious, does installing from yay compile from source? I read the messages while installing Dropbox and catfish, seemed to me it was compiling something on my machine.
I hope you brief answer and guide me to read more! Please.
Thank you.
