Hi, I saw some threads on this but am not clear at a high level.
I thought I would install dropbox client on one of my Fedora VMs so that working with files is much smoother than from a browser. So, is installing a Fedora Desktop the best plan to do that? Don't assume I know enough of native Qubes ability please - maybe I'm missing a key point!
Thanks,
Patrick

one day of poking around more, let me just ask this. I looked but could not find, is it normal to be able to launch Fedora GNOME inside a Fedora 24 VM? How does one do that? I tried StartX... that doesn't work. Do I need to install something?

You'll want to install Dropbox in your TemplateVM so that you can use it
in AppVMs based on that TemplateVM. You can follow the instructions on
Dropbox's website for adding their repo in your Fedora TemplateVM, then:
$ sudo dnf install nautilus-dropbox

In particular, if this template is used for VMs which have network
access and also secrets you wish to never be in dropbox, then this may
be a dangerously bad idea.
You may wish to create a separate template for this purpose.

happen by accident. (If you're assuming that Dropbox is malicious,
then of course it could potentially own the entire VM, just like any
other hypothetical VM-owning malware.)

However, I wanted to point out that it is particularly relevant for
services which establish some outgoing network connection
automatically, as this necessarily increases the attack surface
compared to a piece of software which does not.
For example, compare it to installing rsync. Assuming neither the
dropbox or rsync packages are malicious and actively target Qubes,
Dropbox still incurs more risk in derived AppVMs than would rsync due
to the fact that rsync does not *automatically* communicate with
external untrusted machines which may attempt to attack you, whereas
Dropbox does.
In a template with derived AppVMs in which you only e.g. browse the
web and never manually invoke rsync or make intentional use of
Dropbox, this may matter.
What I mean to say in practice for the OP is "if you currently have
only a single template (as does a default install) maybe installing
dropbox there isn't a good idea."

communicate automatically. If you install Dropbox in a Fedora
TemplateVM according to the above instructions, the Dropbox daemon
will *not* start automatically in any AppVM based on that template.
You have to start it manually. (After starting it manually, you can
configure it to start whenever the VM starts up, if you wish.)

I attempted this in the same Fedore template, is that correct? It installs but doesn't complete - it actually starts dropbox file synching.
I know you said that after I install according to your instructions to do:

I assume that is also on the Fedora template?
I tried that with and without the last instruction from dropbox on the template.
Incidentally, I am able to successfully load dropbox and synch on any of my VMs... (of course I lose it when restart). So just need clarification on the template.
PS - I do not want Dropbox to start in a VM unless I tell it.

This is a different installation method than the one I recommended.

It sounds like you're downloading a binary directly from Dropbox's
website and running it. My recommendations was to install it from the
repo instead.
> It installs but doesn't complete - it actually starts dropbox file synching.
You manually started the Dropbox daemon in your last step above.

After you add the repo, then this command will work:
$ sudo dnf install nautilus-dropbox

Wow, this is a bear for me.
Dropbox said:Add the following to /etc/yum.conf.
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/\$releasever/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
So I performed a sudo gedit on that file and added the above three lines. When I saved it I received this:
** (gedit:1791): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::gedit-position not supported
[user@fedora-24 ~]$
So I do see that you can't save metadata by extending the yum.conf file, and tried a few other things that I think it was suggesting.
When I try and run $ sudo dnf install nautilus-dropbox
I get this:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:14:35 ago on Tue Dec 27 15:23:35 2016.
No package nautilus-dropbox available.
Error: Unable to find a match.
I'm sorry if this is beyond the scope of qubesOS assistance, perhaps I should check in with a dropbox forum?
Thanks,
Patrick

If that still doesn't work, try creating a separate repo file,
`/etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo`, with this content:
[Dropbox]
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
gpgkey=https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
Then try this again:
$ sudo dnf --refresh install nautilus-dropbox

So it's not finding the file, tested that just in my browser address bar.

Ok, still same result - to confirm:
I created the file dropbox.repo inside the /etc/yum.repos.d folder
Contents of the file
[Dropbox] name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
gpgkey=https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
Then, I assume also from the /etc/yum.repos.d folder ...
$ sudo dnf --refresh install nautilus-dropbox (but I tried it from several folders)
And the response is still "No package nautilus-dropbox available" Error: Unable to find a match.
Also to confirm, I'm doing all this in terminal for Template:Fedora-24
Thanks,

Success!
Wow, well I turned the Firewall on, and tried it, no go. Then I edited the dropbox.repo file to put the line feed in, i.e.:
[Dropbox] {must me a linefeed here}
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
gpgkey=https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
and sure enough, that did it! Also had to restart the template and also the VM.
