backup FROM DropBox to QNAP

Post by Rogerwilcox »

Hello, I have inspected available software in app center but could not find a solution to my issue.

I want to backup (or one-way SYNC) "From Cloud to Local QNAP"

So, source will be dropbox folder in cloud and target will be a folder in local QNAP device. Since dropbox is quickly flooding, I need to get cloud emptied from time to time, but they need to be backed up first, hopefully directly from cloud to QNAP.

My unit is TS-431+, at the moment.

Thank for for any guidance.

try cachemount ..it will mount your dropbox as local folder

see if hbs3 can see it as a source

Hi there,
Are there any news about that?

I had it working a while ago but I tried again recently and the new app HBS3 does not seem to allow me to sync from Dropbox to my NAS.

Any new ideas?
Thanks

This was something that worked for years. The recent firmware caused Cloud Drive Sync to disappear.
HBS3 is useless and it only allows 1 way sync’ing to dropbox not from. Please bring CDS back!!

This was working flawlessly with HBS3 but its broken for the last three HBS updates. Sync job starts but never ends.
