Copy files from dropbox

TrueNAS General

I keep getting a error when trying to pull files from Dropbox to my nas. What is all I need to fill in when setting up cloud sync task?

Umm, well, first or step 1 on the task is you need to setup the cloud credentials for Dropbox. This is what opens when clicking ADD

You select Dropbox as the provider from the dropdown and fill in the OAuth Authentication and verify the credentials once entered with the Verify button. Then save the credentials and the task will move on to setting up the the connection to the actual drop box you wish to use and have authorization on.
It should be rather easy to follow step by step

I finally got that to work. Thanks to you for the help. One other question. Lets say I want to copy all the files in Dropbox over to the nas and leave all the dropbox folders empty. Is there a setting I need to set when setting up the cloud sync tasK?

Glad to see you have it working.

I don’t currently have any cloud sync tasks setup, but I think you would just click the pencil to edit the task and turn off the cloud sync operation. There should be a enable check box somewhere on the cloud sync edit screen you setup, but maybe someone else can answer that better. I sync my DropBox from the desktop app both in windows and Fedora and so don’t use the cloud sync in Truenas. I only sync a few things as I find dropbox to expensive for what I need.
