odoes dropbox support external drive sync

So I need to make a decision - Do I run the NAS Drive as the master record or Dropbox as the master record? In my use case Dropbox is essentially providing GeoRedundancy and file recovery. I have a solution and explanation below as to how this could work longterm. Wish I had spent a bit more and got one of these off Ebay - Xeon E3-1265L V2 (4 core / 8 threads) TBC - Final upgrade will either be 2 more HDD for bay 1 and 2 or 2 SSDs in adaptors in bay 1 and 2. OS boots from 120gb SSD connected to internal USBġ20gb Quick data transfer SSD in CD drive caddy connected to ODD Sata Port - STRIPE ConfigĢtb/2tb NAS HDD Drives in bay 3 and 4 Raid Xeon E3-1220LV2 2.3/2.5ghz 2 core 4 threadġ2gb of ram - New 8gb stick and reuse current 4gb

Its a 4 bay Nas but you can actually run 6 drives internal as below:

I think it will take about 4 days for the server to pull the data down. My dropbox has over 1million files in it. I'll update the thread once Ive tested it. So my understanding is in order to transfer both ways you need to have a Push and Pull action set to sync. However if Dropbox is the master copy and the nas is a backup of dropbox then you would only want to go the other way. If Dropbox is being used as an offsite backup for files on the NAS then you would only want to go one way as the NAS is your master copy. Once its done I'll do a test and see if it is able to sync if I add new files to the Nas copy.Īs it stands - I think I will need two cloud actions - One PUSH / SYNC and One PULL / SYNC. Currently downloading PULL and SYNC action.
