Dropbox gets crazy with latest NAS update
Installed the new firmware for NAS today and suddenly NAS re-syncs all files, over 1 TB with cloud dropbox. It will take over 3 months for me to sync 1 TB so that means I can’t backup new data within...
I have discovered the root cause to what you're experiencing, and it'll be something we'll have to work on. There is no software fix to apply at this time.
I'll ask that it is looked at with high priority and also ask that it is addressed in one of the upcoming maintenance releases.
Sorry you're having this problem.
I have actually given up. I dont use the NAS anymore, the dropbox backup has never worked. I will go back to copy to harddrives and hide under my med (year 2016)
The amount of time I have spent to make this work is huge. If I knew from the beginning that it has never worked it would have saved me a LOT of time.
Please dont say that you have Cloud service with dropbox because you dont.
We do have Dropbox support, but there is a high priority change we need to make.
Seeing you have a RN314 there is also a 3rd party app you could try: https://rnxtras.com/addons/dropbox-manager-readynas-6-x86
No, you do not have a functional sync between RN314 and Dropbox. Every time a file syncs, the file get a new timestamp. That is not a sync, that is changing a file and then sync.
I have tried to explain this both to you and dropbox and no one of you cares. I am not paid to test your NAS, you shuld act and test for yourselves.
I have now an expensive 2TB SSD disk in my laptop that syncs directly to dropbox, works perfect. The NAS is OFF.
When I was working as a programmer we used to joke, "Exept the fact that it doesnt work, what do you think about it?"
Thats were you are.
As we have stated we will work to fix that issue.
In the meantime you could try the 3rd party Dropbox app which doesn't have the timestamp change issue.
