Backup to DropBox
Can someone interpret the info bubble on the Dropbox cloud feature in the Cloud section of OS 6? "Selecting root folder will sync entire public cloud, preventing you from adding new sessions" ...
Hi Blueray3,
Since the root folder is being sync, the message is just letting us know that there is no need to create other sessions for that root folder.

Hello Blueray3,
Under the firmware version 6.7.5 after enabling ReadyDrop the you will be ask to set for "Local path" (NAS) and "Cloud path" (Dropbox) and set what type of sync direction will be followed.
As for the "Adding new sessions" it means that you can create a new session with same local path share/folder different cloud path folder or vice versa.
It is much easier setting up the ReadyDrop on the latest firmware version. I would recommend to setup ReadyDrop on your NAS running on the latest firmware version.
What firmware version is running on your readynas device?

So the part about the app "preventing you from adding new sessions" when I sync to the root of the dropbox (in order to make a live sync/backup of the entire dropbox) means that I can't link any other ReadyNAS to the same dropbox? And the part about "Selecting root folder will sync entire public cloud" is confusing because of the use of the word "public" -how does this relate to private shares on dropbox or ReadyNAS?
Thanks
Original quote within OS 6 Dropbox app: "Selecting root folder will sync entire public cloud, preventing you from adding new sessions"
Also, in reviewing ReadyDrop, there are several posts indicating that ReadyDrop has been replaced by ReadyCLOUD...so am not sure how this relates to the Dropbox sync/backup in OS 6.
