RN21200, In-built Dropbox client uploading temp / hidden files
Afternoon all,
We have a client with a RN21200 and Dropbox Business.
1) A specific folder on the ReadyNAS is uploaded to Dropbox.
2) Both SMB and AFP are enabled on that folder
3) Both Windows and Mac clients access this folder
The issue is, the in-built Dropbox client appears to be uploading file system temporary files, so all the DS_Store, ._files, etc are being uploaded to their Dropbox folder.
With the Windows or Mac dropbox clients, these files aren't uploaded.
Is there anything that can be done about this?
Many thanks

Hello GuyA,
As for the Dropbox setting we can only set a specific share of the NAS to sync with Dropbox folder. Unfortunately there is no setting to exempt a specific file on the NAS or on Dropbox from the sync process.
