ReadyNAS Dropbox Sync

Hi Folks,

 

I recently connected my ReadyNAS104 to various folders on my Dropbox.

 

The folders that I wa syncing already existed on the NAS and Dropbox as I'd been using another means to sync the two.

 

The setup seems to have gone fine and logs certainly show some things being downloaded to the NAS but after a point it seems to stop.

 

There is a lot of data in the folders, around 8TB, but it shouldn't need to actually move any data around just scan things and match them up on both ends.

 

What I'm struggling to tell is if it's actually working. The dot beside the Dropbox service in the Cloud tab of the admin page is blue and says syncing when I hover over it but the logs seem to have stopped and I can't check what's on the NAS to varify as it was all there already.

 

That siad, some of the files show ing up on the log do seem to be ones that were on the NAS already.

 

Is there a way to check the progress of the sync in the Admin portal rather than just a blue dot?

 

I should add that if I click the settings for one of the Dropbox sessions and then click create again the logs seem to spring back into life, but then stop again after a period. Does this mean the sync has stopped or are the logs just not very accurate?!
