RN102 dropbox sync problem

Hi I

I am wondering if someon can help me with an issue I have with an RN10200 I have installed OS6.4 so it is up to date I have configured my backup to dropbox and entered the credentials and selected the folder to be backed up it starts to Synch but I have no idea whether it is synching all the files/folders in the backup folder it seems that some files are not being selected the other issue I have is,

What I am finding is that if I create a new document it is synced. If I then amend that again it is synced. However if I create a new folder, that folder and all its contents are not synced? also does the sych run according to a schedule.

Any help is much appreciated

 

Cheers

Wayne

    Hello redcons,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    Have you checked which files are not being copied? Maybe you can try copying them to another share of the NAS then sync that share with DropBox to see if same problem, if same then there must be something on those files.

     

    Regards,

      Hi, I am also having syncing issues with dropbox.

       

      Reading on the Dropbox website it mentions file incompatibilites and Linux software has a 10,000 file sync limit which can be changed. Could there be anything similar happening with the Netgear Dropbox app?

       

      Thanks

        Hi Padg,

         

        Welcome to the community!

         

        I hope you could tell us more about your sync problem with the built-in Dropbox feature of your ReadyNAS. Also, mention which Firmware is running in your system.
         

        Looking forward to your response.

         

         

        Kind regards,
