Does dropbox allow for local LAN syncing of files?

I can't figure out how to do LAN sync either.

Anyone?

[Dropbox Plugin for unRAID 5b11+ (updated)]

chown -R nobody:users $DROPBOXDIR
chmod -R 0775 $DROPBOXDIR

 

Once these commands are complete (at least 30minutes later) the webui is responsive again, and the array is started. The reason it takes a long time is because I have about 80Gb of content in my $DROPBOXDIR

 

Q: Is it necessary to do this on existing dropbox files, or were these commands intended to just be used on a fresh dropbox installation?

 

As you have probably determined, those commands are inside the dropbox_install function and should only be needed upon first install or if the user has changed the target locations of dropbox directories from within the plugin settings page.  I think wrapping them in a better conditional clause will fix the problem.  I'll make the change as soon as I can and perhaps ask you to test it prior to release just to be sure.

Ok that makes sense - thanks for getting back to me.

Let me know if you'd like me to test out your prerelease.

[Dropbox Plugin for unRAID 5b11+ (updated)]

First of all, really appreciate this plugin - thank you.

 

I have a question: when I reboot my unraid box I notice that the stock webui hangs (is unaccessible/unresponsive) and my array is not auto-started for about 30minutes. However, I can still ssh in to the box and access uumenu.

It turns out that the reason this happens is because of the dropbox plugin. If the dropbox plugin is disabled it reboots fine; but with this plugin enabled it takes 30mins to become usable.

According to 'ps -ef', the reason this is happening is because this dropbox plugin is performing the following two commands, one after the other:

chown -R nobody:users $DROPBOXDIR
chmod -R 0775 $DROPBOXDIR

 

Once these commands are complete (at least 30minutes later) the webui is responsive again, and the array is started. The reason it takes a long time is because I have about 80Gb of content in my $DROPBOXDIR

 

Q: Is it necessary to do this on existing dropbox files, or were these commands intended to just be used on a fresh dropbox installation?

 

There also appears to be another side-effect of doing this: dropbox seems to be using a great deal of unnecessary bandwidth to upload/download the change to all the permissions of my files to all my dropbox sync'd computers.
