Dropbox 2.6.13-1 Setup Cannot Be Completed

Today I installed dropbox and dropbox-cli from AUR using yaourt.

Starting dropbox, with an active internet connection, results in the status of "Connecting..." indefinitely. The setup window does not appear.

Restarting the system result in the dropbox setup window appearing after sign-in. Entering the correct credentials and trying to connect results in:

An unexpected error has occured. Try again later.

Dropbox is not down as far as I am aware.

+1 I just installed dropbox today and I have the same problem.
[EDIT 2014-03-02] I guess there's a new upstream version of dropbox ( => https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox/). I ended up downloading and installing directly from dropbox

I had the same problem.  Which package did you choose?  I do not use nautilus and did not find the daemon.

I was able to get it going by downloading the dropbox.py file from drpbox and doing the following:

python2 dropbox.py start -i

This produced a popup saying that the "dropboxd" daemon was not installed and prompted me to download it.
I hit ok or download and it downloaded and extracted it, but with no details.
After it finished I reran the snippet above and it started.
I then got the prompt to login and it worked fine.

I added the snippet above to my .xinitrc (with the appropriate path to the dropbox.py) and it starts up ok.
