Sync to Dropbox
Hi,
I'm using ReadyNAS 312 (6.9.3) and have set "Upload local storage changes only" to backup my NAS (70GB, 30.000 files) to Dropbox.
But not all files are copied. Some folders are empty in cloud...

Hi TommyDa,
Can you try assigning a static DNS on the NAS and see if that will help. You can use 8.8.8.8.
What are the file types saved on those folders?
You can check Dropbox logs by going to the Cloud tab then go to Dropbox Settings. You may refer to the images below on how you can view it:

HI,
I already have static DNS (from ISP), but I have added 8.8.8.8 now.
File types: .xls/.xlsx/.doc/.txt/.dwg
50 of 70GB are synced fine. Source have 35.000 files in 27.000 folders.
I found a lot of errors in system_log/dropbox.log, but I can not interpret the information.
I attach a small part of log. Can you understand what's the problem?
Thanks,
Tommy

Hi TommyDa,
There were some files that starts with this symbol '~'. Any files that start with this symbol will not sync.
