Hello. The first line of you /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo file is malformed. It is supposed to have a section header, so try to replace the "x]" part with "[Dropbox]". This should help you eliminate the section header error. As for the other problems, they are not related to yum. Maybe reinstalling dropbox would help.
