Hi,

 

I created a Dropbox share set to be a private share. Initially, everything was fine with this share, however after setting up the Dropbox Docker I wanted to use, I lost access to this share. Windows and Mac clients attempting to login with the credentials granted read/write access report an error stating permissions problems. I have tried removing the docker, setting the share to public but am unable to access it still. Because the Dropbox Docker has synced my dropbox contents, this share is no longer empty and cannot be deleted.

Please help with how I can rectify the permissions problem and get this share deleted?

 

My plant is now to instead create a new share and set a Dropbox Windows client running on a windows VM sync to the share, as I don't feel I understand how the docker version functions well enough to trust it.

 

Thanks for any assistance

From console or telnet, type

 

newperms /mnt/user/whatever-the-sharename-is

As you are probably using my Dropbox docker, you should refer to this post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=46401.msg447832#msg447832

 

It  talks about changing the permissions of the share and sub folders. plus changing the virtual user used by the Docker to modify the files and give the user access if necessary.

Another way is to telnet or SSH using putty, login as root and type mc and hit enter, that will give you a slightly graphical view of your folders and an easy way to delete anything you want to... just be careful
