Files not syncing on a Dropbox folder on a server
Hello all,
Two or three weaks ago dropbox decided to remove symlinks, and we have to move all our files to a new 4TB disk that is mounted on our main server (Ubuntu System). We follow the protocol ...
Hello again,
Thank you all for your answers.
It seems i needed to increase my 'inotify.max_user_watches'. It syncing very slow, but its syncing. We will adopt measures to reduce the number of files in our Dropbox folders, since this is not advicable and it even can crash our system.
I will marked this as solved for now. Thank you all again for the support.
Ran into this problem a few times that I've written down the best solution (cause it comes up with each new computer).
Open a terminal and type the following
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system
This works with up to 500K files.
I still need to use selective sync, but it runs really well
To find the error which explains the, just run dropbox in your terminal and read the output.
Hope this helps.
