Especially since I am a paying customer of DB. I don't want to advertise competition here. Some are per-service and you can buy your own, some are one-size-fits-all.

I don't know what DB's policy on this is, some of the products that sync files also sync other cloud providers, like google, microsoft, mega, etc. You are ruining your own product by believing you can tell customers what they want, rather than selling the product they need. I need Dropbox to abandon their push on the web interface and again focus on the client programs/apps, which are the reason anyone ever starts using dropbox in the first place. The only "process" going on here is Dropbox making false statements and claiming there's nothing they can do (about their own product). My understanding is that you're sticking cotton in your ears and pretending everything is just fine. My patience for this ran out a long time ago. Please let us know if you need further assistance.
#OFFLINE FILE SYNCHRONIZATION DOWNLOAD#
Plus, once a file is download to my phone, changes to that file on my phone are no longer reflected on my other appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process. The app does not let you download folders. The purpose of dropbox is to keep folders and files in sync across multiple devices. It may be working as intended, but your intentions here are you wish to access these files outside of the Dropbox App then you can always export your Dropbox files to your mobile device directly instead.Īgain, that's not true and also defeats the purpose of Dropbox. It's clearly not the functionality that your customers want. That's the functionality that YOU have chosen. There are plenty of apps out there that store things in the file system where it's accessible by other would be the intended functionality.
#OFFLINE FILE SYNCHRONIZATION ANDROID#
It looks like I can actually browse the offline files for server1 and copy things over, but I have 400 users to migrate, and getting them to remember what they may have worked on the night before and saved would be like pulling teeth from a snail, so doing this isn't really an option.To recent updates made to Android systems, offline files can only be stored in a Cache folder. If I were to open the laptop they took home and looked at sync center I would see 2 sync partnerships, one for server1 and another for server 2.

Creates a new offline file sync partnership, sets up file redirection for that new location, and the new file on their desktop is gone. User comes in the next day, logs in and the machine see's that Homedir = \\server2\homedisr\user. That same night I move their home directory to a new location, \\server2\homedirs\user User goes home, does work and creates a new file on their desktop. Offline file sync enabled and works correctly While testing this I found out that if a user is off network and creates a new file, and I change their home directory location while they are off network, the next time they connect the new file they created is no longer where they created it. I will be migrating users home directories overnight. I have an old physical file server that is going to be decommissioned in favor of a virtual file server.
