Dropbox and Drop2NAS

Boyanski

Hello,

I have installed the Dropbox App. In the manual it says, that two folders will be created - Drop2NAS and zDownload and the Drop2NAS folder will be automatically emptied. Now it is just copying all my Dropbox without creating these folders.

Is this feature no longer available?

It may relate to firmware version of your NAS,
since the old manual has mentioned the files you said but the new one does not.

My Dropbox of NAS540 works as latest user guide:

Yes, I guess this feature is gone. I think it was a very clever feature as you could move files through Dropbox.
Now whats the point of having a copy of Dropbox folder in the NAS as you have it already in your computer? For Google drive I understand it, you don't have it locally.

By the way, Rory, is your Dropbox working fine, I mean the sync? Mine is syncing ever since I've enabled it, maybe 5-6 days already, I have 1 GB of files and haven't made any changes to them, but it still shows "Enabled - Synchronizing".

Do you know if I can force it to stop without deleting the files?
