Dropbox on a server stops syncing at least once a week and needs a restart
Hello. I run Dropbox on a server to get the news uploaded from a third party for a radio station. At least once a week it stops synching and I have to end all running versions and restart it. I'm run...
Thought that may be the case.
Dropbox isn't actually supported on any Server install - see the minimum system requirements for info. Therefore I'd consider contingencies for when/if it stops working.
So my guess is its trying to do an update or similar and getting stuck. Is it possible to run a batch script to say restart Dropbox overnight every few days which may be a workaround?
