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.

I think the public path you are referring is the same as cloud path. The dropbox setup is basically selecting a specific folder from your dropbox to sync with a specific share/folder on the NAS. The feature cannot sync the root of the dropbox to a share on the NAS.

Have experimented some. Can connect to the root of the dropbox and sync to a ReadyNAS folder. So far it appears that I can add folders to the Dropbox that will then appear in ReadyNAS (bidirectional sync), as well as new folder in the dropbox folder on ReadyNAS will appear in actual Dropbox. So I do not understand the info that appears Cloud page of the ReadyNAS Admin section.
