Can't sync dropbox team folders with business account
We have a ReadyNAS 628X with v6.10.1 installed and a DropBox business account with team folders. I created a "dropbox" share in the main volume and configured dropbox local path to it "/DROPBOX_NAS/dropbox". The Cloud Storage Path is set to root "/", sync is bidirectional. I'm able to map the "dropbox" share as a network folder on my PC.
Unfortunately, the only thing that is getting mapped is the dropbox user folder and not all of the team folders. I see the dropbox tree correctly when I sign into dropbox.com and I'm able to sync files from that folder both ways. The dropbox cloud settings see the correct dropbox account space usage and the RAID volume is only showing 17MB of space being taken.
In short, the dropbox tree looks like this:
-OUR_DROPBOX
--TEAM_FOLDER1
--TEAM_FOLDER2
--USER_FOLDER
---TEST_FILE.txt
--TEAM_FOLDER3
The only file I see on the NAS is TEST_FILE.txt and it is mapped to \\NAS_HOSTNAME\DROPBOX_SHARE\TEST_FILE.txt. The ReadyNAS is showing the file at \NAS_HOST\RAID_VOLUME\DROPBOX_SHARE\TEST_FILE.txt on the admin page.
I really need to be able to sync all of it.
Thanks for the help!
Welcome to the Community
This seems to be an issue with Dropbox Business accounts Team Folder. Support have filed for a feature request and your case should have been added to it.
I have my free account with Dropbox and Bidirectionally syncing the root dropbox directory and it syncs fine with the ReadyNAS Share mapped to my PC. All files and folders are in there.
