Entire Dropbox
I would like to sync my entire Dropbox (several folders) with a share on my ReadyNAS OS6.7.4. I may be missing something, but it looked as tho I could only sync one foler of my Dropbox to a single share on my ReadyNAS. Is there a way to sync the entire Dropbox to the share? Is there a way to sync more than one Dropbox account to the same ReadyNAS?
Thank you
Here the session mean the sync pair between local path and remote path. You can add multiple sync pairs (sessions) as long as you do not sync your entire Dropbox drive to NAS, otherwise you can have only one sync pair (session).

You can sync the entire Dropbox by set the remote path as root directory.
For now, we only support one Dropbox account per NAS.

Thanks for the info. When I sync from the root directory, I see the message: syncing the root folder will sync the entire public cloud, preventing you from adding new sessions.
Am not sure what this means. Does "public cloud" mean that syncing changes permissions on either the Dropbox or the ReadyNAS? And what is "adding new sessions"? -Does this mean that I can not add new folders to either the Dropbox or to the ReadyNAS Dropbox share (assuming bidirectional syncing) or does it mean something else? -Thanks
