Issue with DropBox 1.2.49 Update
This is on a ReadyNAS Pro 6 running 4.2.19 I first tried applying the new release over 1.2.48 -- the usual approach to updating -- and it seemed the service didn't want to start. So I removed it an...
Went ahead and created the sandbox for the global dropbox config. I can definitely confirm that when 1.4.28 syncs it DOES NOT include any .dot files or directories. 1.4.29, on the other hand, seems to do so readily.... and erroneously, IMO.
What I think /may/ be happening when I saw the thrashing of adds/deletes previously is that, with my personal dropbox, I have multiple clients, including my own local Mac account. I wonder if the Mac client wants to inhibit the .dot files and tries to delete them when they show up, but 1.4.29 wants to add them because it thinks they should be there.
That condition doesn't exist for this global dropbox setup, so therefore no thrashing.
So the choices now seem to be a client that doesn't continue to sync (1.4.28) or this one that syncs more than it should, and creates bad interactions with other clients linked to the same dropbox.
