Dropbox for R6 (x86 only)
Those wanting a Dropbox add-on similar to the one for 4.2.x with support for bidirectional syncing of entire Dropboxes need wait no longer. Take a look at this great add-on by WhoCares?: https://rnxtr...
Just noting things as I proceed with reinstall and setup.
1) Stopping
Clicked Stop All (twice) and got confirmation that all were stopped. But they weren't. The daemon for my user was still running and reflected as such in the settings page.
Then clicked stop on my specific user, and it did stop. Well, it left a defunct process sitting in the list. But I'll count that as stopped for my purposes.
2) Uninstall
Ugh... uninstall killed ROS web UI again. :( Initiated reboot via ssh to recover. The last time this happened, I recall I'd installed while the defunct process was there. Perhaps that's what's gumming things up. Though I'm not sure what's causing it to not to properly die.
/apps/dropboxmanager subfolder was gone, Dropbox share still present (removed). Also found .dropbox, .dropbox-dist, and Dropbox/ still in my user homedir... removed those too.
3) Install
Odd note. The Add-on reported itself as 1.0.1 in the ROS UI but the package file is dropboxmanager_1.0.2_amd64.deb. Hmm...?
Upload installation succeeded. Add-on still reports itself as 1.0.1.
4) Configure
Upon launching settings, I see it does now have 2.6.31 -- so that may have been the aforementioned lag for the direct download link.
So I click start next to my user name. I see the daemon process start and get success message in settings UI.
Clicked "link" button and successfully linked. See daemon getting busy and status currently "downloading file list".
Refreshing after a few moment shows 1400+ files to retrieve, similar as I saw last time. So I'll check in on it periodically and let it do it's thing. Strangely, the top display on the NAS shows the daemon using almost no CPU though... but in the settings UI I see the count slowly going backward, so I'll go away and let it do it's thing...
No, something's definitely wrong in the sync. In two minutes I went from 1389 files and 25 minutes remaining to "downloading file list". :(
I notice that each of the folders it created has a .dropbox file in it and there is a .dropbox.cache folder in the base folder, which a number of files in it. But that's it.
