How to install Dropbox on Fedora 17
Configure Dropbox Repository
Create a file called dropbox.repo inside of /etc/yum.repos.d
$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d$ sudo vim dropbox.repo
Paste the following:
[Dropbox]
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/17/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
Once you have the repo file saved to yum we want to enable the repository:
$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable
This will enable all installed repositories.
Installing Dropbox
Run yum install using the command:
$sudo yum install nautilus-dropbox --nogpgcheck
Notice how --nogpgcheck parameter was added, since the rpm public key seems to return a 404 on Dropbox.
Completing the Installation
After installation is done, you need to run Dropbox (Applications » Internet » Dropbox) application to complete the installation and configure an user account.
