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,

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,
