DropBox Sync

I just hooked up my ReadyNAS system.
From before I have a DropBox account, where I have about 300 GB of data stored. The same data is also stored on a local disk.
What I want is to copy these 300GB data from the local disk to my new ReadyNAS system and then merge the ReadyNAS with DropBox. That way I don't have to upload 300 GB of data to DropBox again. Anyone know how I do this?

Also wonder where I can see the sync status from the ReadyNAS to DropBox

Also wonder how I enable two way sync with Dropbox and ReadyNAS

  • Not sure the custom client can merge existing data to avoid uploading. It looks to be a 'dumb' client.

    Two-way is not supported, it is one-way from NAS to Dropbox. If you make changes on Dropbox side, those won't sync back.

    The official Dropbox client is only x86, won't run on the ARM platform (RN102). If they release an ARM binary at some point, could hope that WhoCares? would make it available, like his older firmware add-on, which was fully functional: http://rnxtras.com/addons/dropbox-readynas-4-x86
