Third Party Integrations
140 TopicsExtremely slow "Move of Dropbox folder to new location"
So if you're having this problem (like I did) I just wanted to let you know what solved it for me. I started the move and followed instructions here. I had about 77000 files and they copied at a rate of 140 files per hour. I pulled my hair :scream: What caused the problem was Intego Virus Barier, Real time scanning ON. Turning Intego Virus Barier, Real time scanning OFF solved the problem. Hope this helps someone.3.5KViews6likes2Comments
I need to disable syncing in order to save changes in Photoshop.
There seems to be a change in the behavour in file sync. Now Dropbox interupt the saving process of an application (Planimate from InterDynamics). When the software saves it's file, I understand it does this to a temp file with ending .$$$. When the save process is done, and the file is verified, it replaces the orginal file with the new one and change the file ending the the appropriate. This has worked fine with Dropbox for many years. But lately Dropbox interrupt this and "lock" the temp file, making the software fail to save its files. Not very nice. I have to turn off Dropbox every time I do development nowadays. Please revert to a sync method less intrusive.Solved9.6KViews5likes56Comments
Can I auto-import videos in a certain Dropbox folder to Replay?
Hi Emma! (It won't let me start a new discussion so here I am) Is there or will there be a feature that could auto-import videos in a certain Dropbox folder to Replay? My team and I export our videos directly into our Dropbox and having a feature like this could streamline our review process.Solved3.9KViews4likes5CommentsBlock-level sync for VeraCrypt not working post 83.4.152 update
Greetings all, After DB auto-updated to 83.4.152, I noticed that the block-level syncing doesn't seem to be detecting changes anymore for my VeraCrypt container. Before the update, everytime I dismount my VC encrypted container, DB will index the file and compare the deltas at the block-level -- syncing the block-level changes. However, after the 152 update, I've noticed that even with lots of changes in the VC container, after I dismount, DB detects no changes to the encrypted file. I end up having a bunch of conflicts when trying to sync between machines via the "rename the file and rename it back" approach. Could someone share resolution or your similar experiences if you're also using encrypted containers with DB? Thanks, BPHSolved19KViews4likes143Comments
