does this addon automatically install the latest dropbox linux release, or only a particular version?does the dropbox linux release update itself, or is it required to pay for another 'dropbox installer' ?

WhoCares? is looking into a fix for this. For now the update files that dropbox automatically downloads are deleted.You would have to pay for an update. See http://www.readynasxtras.com/about (page appears to be down at the moment but shouldn't be for too long).However if you know what you're doing you could extract the contents of the add-on modify the install script (i.e. the line where the dropbox tar archive is downloaded from dropbox.com via wget) to download the latest version of DropBox and install the add-on over the top of itself. No guarantees this would work (though in most cases it should), but you'd be missing any bug fixes or other improvements WhoCares? makes to the add-on.This is my favourite community add-on at the moment.

thanks, I'll wait until the auto-update is working.

FWIW, the current version of the addon is v1.2.49-rnx86-0.2.25, which is newer than the one indicated in the "intel" addon forum.I'm just posting to follow-up and ask whether anyone else has noticed that applying a new version of RAIDiator (upgrade or downgrade) results in Dropbox not starting at all. I've had to uninstall and reinstall the addon each time I apply a new firmware image to the NAS. Annoying at best, to be quite honest. I'm curious whether others are seeing this behavior.

I haven't seen this happening yet. The thing is: the dropbox add-on doesn't require anything special from the ReadyNAS firmware. So the only thing that I can imagine preventing it from starting up properly after a firmware up- or downgrade is that the the /etc/default/services file gets overwritten or mangled somehow. Because this is the central point from which Frontview determines what services/add-ons to start (or not to start). If after an up- or downgrade the Dropbox entries in this file aren't there anymore, the service won't start. That said I already did some firmware updates on the ReadyNAS where my Dropbox is running and it continued to work just fine. So I'd be really interested in why it doesn't work for you. I will do some local testing but in case you find out more details in the meantime, it would be nice if you could share them.-Stefan

Well, I've had a look through the startup scripts and config and I do definitely see a problem, but unsure of the cause. One this is true... up- or downgrading the firmware will not itself cause the issue. Rather, simply /restarting the NAS/ will cause it.The init.d script expects the file /c/.dropbox-dist/run_dropbox.sh to exist, and it doesn't. Strangely, it does exist in two different /c/.dropbox-dist-old-* directories, but not in the current one. Very odd. Wonder why... But whatever is happening during install obviously doesn't run the normal startup sequence, or it would fail. So instead it just lurks waiting for a restart to happen.

Hmmm. Sounds like for some reason Dropbox thinks it's linked to an account.

Can you do the following?:

MDGM-NAS:~# cat /c/.dropbox-dist/VERSION
MDGM-NAS:~# file /c/.dropbox-dist/*

Please also do


MDGM-NAS:~# ps -ef | grep dropbox

which should give output something like this:

You need to do "cat" not "at". They are different commands.

What version of RAIDiator are you running?

Have you tried rebooting the NAS to see if that makes a difference?

What version of RAIDiator is on your unit?

Do you have any other add-ons installed?

Can check via

and

Could you try re-installing the Dropbox add-on over the top of itself and see if that helps?
