skank Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Anyone know why i have to reactivate every time? Quote Link to comment
MyKroFt Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 whos version of the plugin are you running - the one listed in the wiki or WW's version? Quote Link to comment

MyKroFt Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 where are you telling it to store the the database at, it can not be on your array as per notes on the 1st post. I have a user share called Dropbox and another on my cache drive. Database points to cache drive, files point to the user share on the array. Once setup that way and started, the plugin gives you a url you have to visit to link/activate the installation. Myk Quote Link to comment
skank Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Its all on cache.. Activation link has to be clicked every reboot Quote Link to comment

Izrun Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'm trying to install this plugin for the first time and it throws an error. root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins# installplg Dropbox-0.1-i468-1atv.plg installing plugin: Dropbox-0.1-i468-1atv file /boot/packages/dropbox.tgz: downloading from http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86 ...

jowi Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can't find it but like everyting else, how to do it is SOMEWHERE on the forum, never in a sticky offcourse, hell no, but somewhere in between a few 100 pages... Anyway, i've changed it and saved it, here you go. Dropbox-0.1-i468-1atv.plg.zip Quote Link to comment
Izrun Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yeah, I looked around and couldn't find anything. That worked great. If anyone else has this problem, make sure you delete /boot/packages/dropbox.tgz that already downloaded before trying. Thanks! -=Jeff Quote Link to comment
mp328 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Can't find it but like everyting else, how to do it is SOMEWHERE on the forum, never in a sticky offcourse, hell no, but somewhere in between a few 100 pages... Anyway, i've changed it and saved it, here you go. tnx for posting this link , i installed it yesterday and it worked out of the box, synced the files from the network down and copied everything over. now i changed a few items and added a few folders inside the dropbox folder (on unraid) and moved files around, but i dont see it yet syncing with the online version. kinda wondering how often does unraid dropbox sync with the online website and is there a way to manually tell it to sync possibly... i was using the windows desktop version of unraid before, so i got a bit used to the instant update on the website/phone/tablet also Quote Link to comment
overbyrn Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Folks, I've had a go at rewriting the dropbox plugin. Credit where due to SeeDrs, his plugin works fine but as I and others have found, depending on where you choose to locate the installation can sometimes result in read/write issues with files & directories. I've been using a hacked about version for sometime and finally decided to try and convert it back into a full plugin where it ran as user nobody instead of root and didn't cause permission problems. This is that attempt. If anyone cares to try it out, please grab it from the link below and give feedback. I've borrowed some of the look and feel as well as structure from sab,sick and couch as maintained by Influencer. Seemed to make sense to keep other plugins looking roughly the same if at all possible. To be honest, I've re-written this from the ground up, using SeeDrs original as inspiration only. Mostly as a learning exercise, but I tell you this as it's going to be new and possibly full of bugs. That said, I'd done my best to test it out before coming on here, so I'm hopeful it won't be too problematic. If feedback is positive and it's generally successful for others, I'll probably start a new thread as it may get lost in this thread otherwise. Install in the usual way. Everything is pretty much self explanatory. One of the things I wanted was to be able to install it just about anywhere. So far I've been successful installing to my cache disk as well as the array. However, I would suggest you be very careful when opting for an array drive. A safe option would be to use /mnt/disk1/.dropbox as the database dir, this is the dir which maintains a database of your files to keep everything in sync. It doesn't have to start with a period. Then I suggest for the main data file area where dropbox will store your files, choose something like /mnt/disk1/Dropbox. Then afterwards, you can use the UnRAID webgui to create a user share called Dropbox with just disk1 included. That'll get it on the array. Or you can substitute /mnt/disk1 for /mnt/cache and then create a cache only share. Up to you. Try not to reference paths as /mnt/user/something. I've found dropbox gets touchy about that.

skank Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Looking forward to a new dropbox plugin as it was very needed! But ill wait for others opinion first. Already big thx! Quote Link to comment

You could make it more clear that the "waiting for linking" link more clear though, took me quite a while and useless tinkering to find out it actually links to the right URL. Thanks for your work!

You could make it more clear that the "waiting for linking" link more clear though, took me quite a while and useless tinkering to find out it actually links to the right URL. Thanks for your work! Thanks Othi for trying it out. Sorry the activation link was less than intuitive. I've made a minor change so that it's more obvious it's a hyperlink to the activation page and requires clicking. You'll know this already, but it's worth stating here that once the activation has been done, come back to the plugin and hit refresh on the page. The status link should eventually change to indicate it's indexing or downloading files. The dropbox deamon status is tied to the webgui status line, so in general once it's complete and all files are downloaded from the cloud/LAN, it'll simply say "Idle" but it's helpful when first performing the link as multiple refreshes should show the ongoing download progress.

overbyrn Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 skank, try separating the database directoy from the data directory. eg. have Dropbox Database Directory as /mnt/cache/.dropbox or /mnt/cache/DropboxDB and then have Dropbox Data Directory as /mnt/cache/Dropbox. Quote Link to comment

Fixed it, thanks mate ! I prefer this plugin now for dropbox No errors You should make your own topic, and make a link to it on the offical plugin page http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Plugins Quote Link to comment
