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...

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.
I'm just guessing here but is there a chance that when you tried to install the app using dpkg Dropbox was started under the root account, in other words: are there any .dropbox* directories in /root? My general approach is that "the software is right" so I assume that the files it says it has either downloaded or verified are *somewhere* on your ReadyNAS. The low CPU usage also indicates that Dropbox is just verifying instead of downloading (ok, depending on the size of the 1400+ files it could also just do a LAN copy of small files but a verify operation seems more likely to me). So maybe running
find / -name "<name of a file known to be in your dropbox>"would shed some light as to where Dropbox has actually put your files (assuming it really did, of course).
