Manjaro KDE

From couple of years Manjaro and Manjaro Community doing very good in Linux distro sector. In Arch Based Distro , I can say Manjaro is The Best for well & easy customization.

I use Ubuntu , Lubuntu , Kali but the flavour of Manjaro(Arch Based Distro) is super awesome.

Anyway I shift from Windows 10 to Linux finally. In windows i used Dropbox for my client issue and file that’s i need a desktop version Dropbox for file transfer. So, I decided to install Dropbox here too.

Here is the command list for installing process,

sudo pacman -S git

**if you already installed git , you don’t no need

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dropbox.git

  • Building the client

Now building the client , Go to Dropbox folder and or using command

Then press makepkg -si

It’ll take some time so wait for it.

If fails to build gpg key then just copy the key and type

Looks like my command.

gpg — — recv -keys <your key> .

Then again press makepg -si.

and also

rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist
install -dm0 ~/.dropbox-dist

Now you can directly go to your dropbox.

Here is or you can Open from Application Manager.
