Backup to DropBox
Hi,
I use ReadyNAS fw 6.5.0 and wonder if DropBox sync function is one time sync or if it sync files ongoing?
Thanks,
Tommy
Hi TommyD,
Yes, it should be. I haven't used this for awhile now but after testing it today, it still works two-way sync continuously. Just make sure that you will change the sync settings.
Kind regards,

Hi TommyD,
Welcome to the community!
Every file that you add on your Dropbox storage (Apps->ReadyNAS->Hostname/Share name) will continuously sync or be copied to the selected share in your ReadyNAS system.

NETGEAR Communtiy TeamHi,
It seems that ReadyNAS only syncs files with a newly created folder APPs>ReadyNAS, not my entire Dropbox files?
Kind regards,

- That's my experience too. ReadyCLOUD does syncs the same way as well.
Hi pplu & omicron_persei8,
I've updated my post. Only the files added or copied on the created Hostname/Share name folder under Apps->ReadyNAS folder will sync to your selected ReadyNAS share.
Kind regards,
