April 6, 201214 yr dropbox daemon files/socket etc are in /mnt/cache/.dropbox all my dropbox sync'd files are in user share of /mnt/user/Dropbox Myk btw, i am using the dropbox plugin of Dropbox-0.1-i468-1atv.plg in located in /boot/config/plugins Just thinking out loud... so I'm guessing that if you're using the plugin then from the gui your config is probably something like 'Dropbox Directory' = /mnt/usr/Dropbox & 'Dropbox Database Directory' = /mnt/cache/.dropbox? If so, then under the hood there's probably symlinks in /root pointing to those locations and also a .dropbox-dist directory. Assuming the above is true, do you have file read/write permission issues? eg. create a new file from a PC running the client or upload to the cloud and then when it shows up in your unraid dropbox, try to open or modify it? For me, the reason I moved things around was until I removed the dependency on dropbox application to run in /root, I wasn't able to open or modify files (on unraid dropbox sync'd area) that I'd created elsewhere.
April 6, 201214 yr Known Issues Dropbox cannot be installed to /mnt/user/[somepath]. Thanks SeeDrs i just realize this. i wonder how mykroft able to use /mnt/user/Dropbox

I have never gone looking for those files, after my initial setup, it just works. And I have yet to have any permission issues, but granted I do not copy/delete/modify any of the dropbox files on the server - its sole purpose is a backup of my cloud files.... Myk
April 6, 201214 yr Known Issues Dropbox cannot be installed to /mnt/user/[somepath]. Thanks SeeDrs i just realize this. i wonder how mykroft able to use /mnt/user/Dropbox I am going to assume that means the dropbox data directory, the actual dropbox files can be any path you wish. When I take the array offline, dropbox is shutdown as well, and of course the /mnt/user/Dropbox dir is not accessable, but can directly access/mount it by using the indv diskX method. my /mnt/cache/.dropbox contains the following: root@Tower:/mnt/cache/.dropbox# ls -la total 42 drwx------ 3 nobody users 344 2012-04-05 12:57 ./ drwxrwx--- 11 nobody users 280 2012-04-06 05:35 ../ srw------- 1 root root 0 2012-04-05 12:56 command_socket= -rw------- 1 root root 3072 2012-04-05 12:57 config.db -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 3072 2012-04-05 12:57 config.dbx -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 5 2012-04-05 12:56 dropbox.pid -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 193 2012-03-30 00:23 host.dbx -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 81 2012-04-05 12:57 hostkeys srw------- 1 root root 0 2012-04-05 12:56 iface_socket= drwxrwx--- 2 nobody users 1584 2012-04-06 10:59 l/ -rw-rw---- 1 nobody users 13312 2012-03-19 22:25 photo.dbx -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136 2012-04-05 12:57 unlink.db and my /mnt/user/Dropbox is my normal files that is accessable on any linked account I just used the plugin and it worked - no messing with it - the plugin does have the URL to click on to link the dropbox setup to a account also just checked my /mnt/user/Dropbox folder - all files are owned by nobody.users Myk
April 6, 201214 yr ok... accessing dropbox files via \\tower\Dropbox - got permission denied so i went thru telnet and changed the permissions on the user share to 755 and can now access the dropbox folder via windows, but as you mentioned above, I can not access any of them. For me personally this is not a prob, as I can access via indv computers directly into dropbox files... But, am going to continue to see what is going on and see if I/we can figure out a easy perminate solution.... Myk
April 6, 201214 yr in my /root folder I have 2 symlinks and 1 folder lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2012-04-05 12:56 .dropbox -> /mnt/cache/.dropbox/ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2012-03-19 18:21 .dropbox-dist/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2012-04-05 12:56 Dropbox -> /mnt/user/Dropbox/
April 6, 201214 yr added the "sudo -u nobody" to my package script, shutdown the array and restarted it and still get: root@Tower:/boot/config/plugins# ps -ef | grep dropbox root 9345 7476 0 11:41 pts/1 00:00:00 grep dropbox root 27967 1 3 11:40 ? 00:00:01 /root/.dropbox-dist/dropbox so even tho i told it to run as user nobody my start command is function startdropbox() { global $newline, $log; echo("Starting dropbox..."); exec_log("HOME=/root; sudo -u nobody /usr/local/sbin/dropbox.py start;"); sleep(3); echo("Completed$newline"); } which is correct? am trying to keep everything as stock as possible for those without a cache drive.... Thanks Myk

July 2, 201214 yr I copied the plg file to the pluginsdirectory and started the command as specified in the forum: installplg /boot/config/plugins/dropbox-0.1-i468-1atv.plg Unfortunately dropbox does not install, it gives me the following error: installing plugin: dropbox-0.1-i468-1atv file /boot/packages/dropbox.tgz: downloading from http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86 ...

I change line 13 of the plugin file to <URL>http://www.dropbox.com/download/?plat=lnx.x86 --no-check-certificate</URL> And line 23 to <URL>http://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py --no-check-certificate</URL> And it seemed to work fine. I attached the file if you want to use it. For what its worth, I don't really know what the implications of --no-check-certificate is, so use it at your own risk. aha thx , trying it now ! Someone should adjust main post
July 2, 201214 yr anyone willing to help? I installed plugin, its in my settings page and its connected to my existing dropbox how do i go further now? i cant seem to find the folders.... i installed it on cache the two folders dropbox and dropboxdb beginning with "." so its moved with the script how do i go further? Cant access one of the two . folders either
July 3, 201214 yr Hi Guys, I'm struggling a bit - like Skank. I think we're at the same place. I installed the plugin (with the couple of modifications suggested because of the certificate issue). I set \\tower\disk1\ as my location and I see two folders created (Dropbox and .dropbox), and I've followed the link and connected to my Dropbox account, and for a moment the Unraid Plugin screen indicated a number of files to sync. Plugin shows "Enabled" and status of "Idle." I think it did Sync, but when I try to connect to the share with \\tower\disk1\dropbox I get a permission denied error... So I created a share in the UnRaid webgui - and from within the webgui I can browse the share (this might be the SimpleFeatures plugin) and indeed it is synced to my DropBox account - but how do I access the share? Perhaps MyKroFt and I are at about the same place now - but I lack the knowledge he clearly has in this area. Ideas of things to try? Thanks, Russell
July 3, 201214 yr Yeah im stuck too Although i install everything on cache... This plugin needs to be updated!
July 3, 201214 yr For what its worth, I don't really know what the implications of --no-check-certificate is, so use it at your own risk. --no-check-certificate basically tells wget to trust the website and not try to authenticate the websites security certificate. Unraid can't check the certificate so there is no alternative. Sent from my HTC Vivid
July 3, 201214 yr Strange thing, but everytime i reboot or restart, i need to relink my dropbox account (click the activation) how come?

I was in the same position a few weeks ago, but if I remember correctly then chown -R nobody:users Dropbox from the /mnt/disk1 folder solved all my problems Dropbox runs as root, rather than nobody so it gives permission problems..
July 3, 201214 yr Strange thing, but everytime i reboot or restart, i need to relink my dropbox account (click the activation) how come? any idea? I also have the problem now , that unraid automatically adds the dropbox folder as share too (same with the sabnzb plugin)
July 3, 201214 yr I wonder if the changes made to the openssh plugin could be made to this plugin? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20848.0 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
July 3, 201214 yr Im still having permissions problems although i fiexd it, and the fact i have to reactivate my dropbox every time...
July 3, 201214 yr I'm trying to convert STourWalk's instructions into English, since I'm not a Linux guy. :-) Russsell
July 3, 201214 yr I'm trying to convert STourWalk's Instructions into something I can do... I'm a linux noob. chown -R nobody:users Dropbox from the /mnt/disk1 folder solved all my problems Dropbox runs as root, rather than nobody so it gives permission problems.. Thanks, Russell
July 3, 201214 yr A little Googling Linux commands - anyone who had the permissions problem like I described earlier, here's the fix: Telnet to your UnRaid type: cd /mnt/disk1 [enter] type: chown -R nobody:users Dropbox [enter] (Not sure if you must follow the case, but I did so). Thanks for the help STourWalk. Russell
July 4, 201214 yr Still having the problem everytime i reboot, i have to re-activate the dropbox link Really beginning to hate this plugin
