Dropbox not syncing

DId you install this add-on?: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=58647

If so do you have the latest version (currently 0.9.7) of the add-on installed?

If you didn't install this add-on how did you install Dropbox?

Most common reasons for Dropbox no longer syncing is one or more of:

- Lost network or DNS connectivity
- Wrong date/time setting on the ReadyNAS
- Incompatible change of file/directoriy permissions on the Dropbox folder
and lastly
- accidental removal of the ReadyNAS from the linked devices list

Please check for all of these with a focus on network and date settings.

Yes, this is the add-on (latest version) that is installed.

Hi,

I've checked three of your suggestions:

- Network connectivity is OK
- Time and date is correct (connected to Netgears time servers)
- All Dropbox folders have guest access

I am not sure where to find the linked devices list. Is this somewhere in ReadyNAS frontview or on Dropbox website? Or somewhere else? In the Dropbox add-on section of Frontview there is a green light and says a Dropbox account has been linked.

Many thanks for your help!

How full is the data volume on your NAS? If it's pretty much full (say only a few GB free) then syncing isn't going to work either.

On the Dropbox website login and go to Settings > Security. Is your device listed there? How recent is the most recent activity?

There's plenty of free space (>1 TB) on the volume, so that should not be a problem.

The device is listed as linked on the Dropbox website with most recent activity in the last hour. But the files still will not sync!

Now I tried to unlink the NAS from the Dropbox website and relink it with the link obtained from Frontview. The NAS once again shows up among the linked devices, but still no files are being synced. I'm really confused...

Can you post a screenshot?

Sure, here is what it looks like from Frontview:



Or did you mean a screenshot from something else?

That looks right.

Do you have problems syncing both ways (i.e add file to Dropbox on PC/Mac or add file to Dropbox on share in NAS, you get the problem)?

More details would be good.
