Dropbox Sync Won't Update
I recently upgraded my ReadyNAS to OS 6.8.0 and use a Mac to connect to the ReadyNAS. I have set up the Dropbox Sync on my ReadyNAS 526X. I have a single folder on Dropbox syncing to the corresponding folder on the ReadyNAS. I have it set up to only download cloud changes to the ReadyNAS. It works fine for the initial sync and everything in my selected Dropbox folder appears in the corresponding filder on my ReadyNAS. However, after the first sync, no further updates to sync down to the ReadyNAS. I have added new documents to the Dropbox folder and reorganized some files into new folders and none of those changes appear on the ReadyNAS. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there something I have done wrong in the setup process? Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards, David5.7KViews0likes8Comments
Backup to DropBox
Can someone interpret the info bubble on the Dropbox cloud feature in the Cloud section of OS 6? "Selecting root folder will sync entire public cloud, preventing you from adding new sessions" I have posted here before and was directed to ask Dropbox. Their forum directs me back to ReadyNAS/Netgear as "it is their implementation". What does "adding new sessions" mean? I seem to be able to add new folders in either ReadyNAS or Dropbox with bidirectional sync on...so am not sure. When the term "public cloud" is used, I am confused as both my ReadyNAS and Dropbox have shares that are not public. Some interpretation would be appreciated.SolvedDropbox sync hangs - Firmware 6.7.5
My ReadyNas 204 (firmware 6.7.5) still hangs on syncing with dropbox. The total size of the folder is 185GB updating 19GB every day (max filesize is 2GB). I have to restart it every 2/3 days, then it works but after some time hangs on again. Connection to internet is optic fiber 100Mbit/s. Any help wold be appreciated. Thanks4.6KViews0likes10CommentsDropbox backup - sync status
Hi to everyone. After the factory default reset of my RN204 I set up the dropbox sync to save all my data. I have 4TB of data with big files (medium size 1 to 4 GB) and it's working but the uploading to dropbox it seems not regulat. My upload speed it's not like the download, but I can't understand if sometimes the upload stops or if it start from the beginning after a NAS reboot. Is there a way to check if the Dropbox service is working and what he is doing?4.5KViews0likes5CommentsREADYNAS 214 and Dropbox Sync
Hello, I've a NAS RN214, used to store big media files (videos, audio). I synced with Dropbox all the medias in the NAS (4 TB). The dropbox cloud service is set in "push only". Dropbox should copy all the new files (or the modiefied ones). Every time I restart the NAS, Dropbox starts uploading all the files!! :-( I tried different setup without solve the issue. It a big issue because, with my home-line, I need 150-200 days to upload everything! I can't understand what else to do. Any ideas?4.2KViews0likes8Comments

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 Wayne3.6KViews0likes3CommentsSyncing Dropbox
RN312 When I sync from the Dropbox root directory, I see the message in the app: syncing the root folder will sync the entire public cloud, preventing you from adding new sessions. Am not sure what this means. Does "public cloud" mean that syncing changes permissions on either the Dropbox or the ReadyNAS? And what is "adding new sessions"? -Does this mean that I can not add new folders to either the Dropbox or to the ReadyNAS Dropbox share (assuming bidirectional syncing) or does it mean something else? -Thanks
Dell Laptop with DropBox Crashes Netgear Router
I got an Inspiron 5567 Laptop with Windows 10 x64 for Christmas. Since then, the laptop crashes my Netgear R7000 router daily. At that point cannot login to the router at 192.168.1.1 (no response). I can Ping it. I can connect between all devices Wired/Wifi on my LAN. Powering the router off/on resolves the problem. I have factory reset the router and also tested a new R700P Netgear Router. No joy! My LAN includes 3 Laptops and 4 Desktop PCs using DropBox, one with Windows 7, the rest Windows 10. I have found that DropBox on the laptop causes the crash. DropBox usage at this point is only an occasional, perhaps weekly, update to my 25 KB SafeInCloud password file in the cloud. Below I have shown the DB discovery protocol trace for two IPs. IP 192.168.1.17, as an example, and the other 5 PCs have 2 trys. Only 192.168.1.50 (The Laptop) shows multiple trys. The laptop typically has 4 trys. This one capture is 6 trys, and I suspect it goes crazy sometimes and causes the crash. I have done a clean reset of windows on the laptop, worked with Dell to get the latest drivers,etc., and the problem still exists.
