Sync with Dropbox

Hello there,
Is it possible to synchronise the files with our dropbox library ?
I'd like to mark comments on my pdf files and save them directly on dropbox.
Others app like iA Writer (that I use to take notes) already offer this service.
Thank you for answer

You can't sync files with Dropbox in an automated way. But you can use the Share button to send edited files to the Dropbox app on iPad/iPhone which accomplishes the same thing. (Other PDF reader apps offer more automated solutions.)

Apps that open .odt files and sync with dropbox?

Does anyone know of any (preferably free) apps that sync with dropbox and can open/edit/save open office files?
I currently have a free app that syncs with dropbox but has no formatting features, which I am finding frustrating.
Thanks, Gemma.

MyCloud Mirror sync with Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Apple iCloud or others?

My dream is to have MyCloud Mirror on day and night and synchronized with the Cloud remote I chose.
My data will have two safe places to stay:
In my house In a remote server
In the event of a disaster recovery altogether.
Every day I can have it all without waiting for the download time and upload.
It may be a good idea? We develop applications to be installed on MyCloud Mirror is this NAS will be autonomous in its work.
Wow! [Important Notes Footer] ▼ The new case opened for Dropbox App: http://community.wd.com/t5/Personal-Cloud-Ideas/Dropbox-the-new-app-available-in-MyCloud-Mirror/idi-p/881383

I assumed that if I bought two mycloud ex2 (which I did) that I could keep the two in sync so when I am in either location the shares could be mounted locally and be the same. The two locations are a few hundred miles apart but both have fairly highspeed Internet connections. I've tried the backup options and have not succeeded in getting a complete backup. It seems that even the slightest network hiccup aborts the backup. The backups that have partially completed put the copy of the share in several layers of subdirectories so it does not seem like I could mount the share using the same name at both sites. It would be fantastic if the ex2's in the two locations could be set up to mirror each other. Mounting the shares remotely works but is fairly slow so having a local copy is what I was hoping for when I bought a second ex2. Perhaps the backups rearrange the directory tree when they complete but thus far (after several attempts) I've not successfully completed a backup of ~100 GB. It would also be great if the backup/sync operation recovered from network interruptions. Most "cloud" services these days such as DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive,... have this capability. If the network goes down they keep trying to connect and when it returns the syncing recommences. Would be great if the ex2's did the same.

Ipad photo sync with dropbox

I dont have a computer, only the ipad. And i gott the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit for importing photo.
I want the pictures to automatic upload to dropbox, just like the automatic camera uploads dropbox have for the camera roll.

How do I add photos to the camera roll that were not taken on my iPad? I imported photos to my iPad from my camera, and now I want to add them to my camera roll which is sync'ed with Dropbox as a back up mechanism.

How do I add photos to my camera roll that were not taken one my iPad? I have iMported photos from my camera to my iPad. Theses photos are in the imported photo album. I want to move these photos to my camera roll but can't figure out how to this. I want them in my camera roll because that is the album that syncs with Dropbox where I want to backup my photos. Thank you for your help.

Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes. It's much easier to configure and manage than samba. It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
Subsitute my mount points with yours.
For a password-less mount:
ssh-copy-id gav@PI
after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
guest account = gav
; And my share setup:
[rpi]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /mnt
writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @krb
[torrent_dl]
path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
writable = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
read only = No
Hope this helps.

Syncing iPhone photos with Dropbox

Hello All,
I just switched from 6 years of Android to iPhone this week and am in the process of getting everything just as I like it. Two things i'm strugling with are:
Syncing with Dropbox: I had on my android an app called DropSync which synced all my photos and anything I chose to a specific folder in dropbox and vice-versa. Is there a way or an app that does the same thing where I can sync the albums I made on my iphone with dropbox folders over the cellular network automatically. Please advise.
Syncing Google contacts: Any tips on solid apps to sync my google contact to my phonebook without creating duplicates - or maybe an app that detects duplicates and merges them on my iphone address book.
Thank you all in advance!

Here are links to a couple of ways to achieve this:

Syncing a mediathek between a MAC and a WIN-PC possible with Dropbox?

Hi everybody,
Is this a WIN or a MAC question? I try it here first... X)
I have a MAC at one place - and a WIN-PC at another place. Both have a Drobox-folder (Dropbox = a sync tool) to keep the data on them in sync.
That works like a charm, besides iTunes:
I would like to use the exact same iTunes mediathek on the WIN-PC and on the MAC.
(It must be a iTunes-based solution, as I would like to sync my iPhone on both locations with iTunes - so I would have fresh podcasts etc. going to AND coming from work, and do not need to think on which computer I include new Music, Apps etc.).
Physically I actually have the same mediathek files on both computers already - via Dropbox - but the location description in the iTunes library file is not matching:
MAC: <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Users/xxx/Dropbox/Music/iTunes/...</string>;
WIN: <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Users/xxx/Documents/My%20Dropbox/Musi /iTunes/...</string>;
So it does not work yet.
Is there a way to do what I want? (Like a script to fire up iTunes, that replaces the locations each time..?)
I assume there is quite some people with this problem...
Thank you very much for any help/hint!!
Best wishes,
Daniel

Hi,
I never really gave a final report to this question:
Things did not really work the way I wanted (having the libary file itself synced).
What I did in the end, was letting the media files sync via Dropbox (i.e., letting the iTunes Media Files folder of both computers point to the same folder in Dropbox).
I kept local library files for both computers, but used a HEX editor to change the library ID of one computer to the library ID of the other computer (so that my iPhone syncs to both computer). If you want to do this, there are several post on how to edit the library file with a HEX editor. For me, it did work with iTunes 9, it did not work with iTunes 10 (as far as I remember). So you might which to downgrade before attempting this.
Best wishes,
Daniel

How to sync numbers with dropbox using my ipad

I use numbers and pages on my mac and want to access and edit those documents on my iPad but the web suggests these products are flawed in terms of no compatibilty with dropbox. If so how do I wirelessly sync changes to documents made on either laptop or iPad. Thank you

cschwanenberger,
Are you using Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion on your computer? It is required to gain full iCloud calendar sync capability.
If you are using Lion, what calendars do you have listed under the iCal "Calendars" tab? Only data entered under the iCloud category will sync with iCloud. Any data entered under the "On My Mac" category will not sync with iCloud.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar may be helpful.

Looking for a notetaking app that syncs with PC

I use playbook for mobility but PC for work. I am looking for a (simple) note taking app that will allow me to sync with PC - preferably via dropbox. I used to use cintanotes on PC but that doesn't sync to PB. Looked at Evernote but seems bloated and some adverse reviews. Some others exist by seem to have issues also - eg Simplenotes. Anyone out there found a good working solution?

ITunes 12.0.1 now just "hangs" and does not complete the sync with my iPhone (iOS 6.1.6).

Hello all,
I've seen similar posts earlier in Apple discussions, but I haven't come across a definitive answer yet…So, let me ask again:
Up until 6-7 hours ago, iTunes 12.0.1 was working perfectly well including syncing with my iPhone (I use an oldie but a goodie and it suits my purposes, iOS 6.1.6, 3GS). Specifically iTunes now "hangs" and will not complete the syncing process with my iPhone. It get to "2 of 6" in the backing up process, and then the spinning beach ball appears. I keep my iTunes library on a separate external HD (USB).
Even if I only want to launch iTunes 12 to use it (and NOT sync), the application freezes.
In similar posted questions, "Linc Davis" has asked that the user run a diagnostic using the Terminal utility. I have done this, and I paste the results below.
Any help with this is appreciated!

Dear Linc,
Thanks, once again, for repeating yourself by sending me the message above (a message you have sent to MANY users with this problem)!
However, you give me this great opportunity to say two things: 1) YAHOO! I fixed the problem, and 2) I want to share how I did so because I hope it helps others.
With the help of reading info at this website http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/22/fix-the-itunes-library-itl-cannot-be-read-version -error-when-downgrading-itunes/, I followed this procedure:
1) I deleted the iTunes 12.0.1 app from my computer
2) In addition, in reading related details at the website above (i.e., by clicking on links on the page AND scrolling to the very bottom to view links to related articles), in my iTunes library folder, I changed MY CURRENT "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.old", as the website advises. The current .itl file was the one being used by the iTunes app I had just deleted from my computer.
3) I went to the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and dragged a copy of the second-most recent .itl file to my desktop (for me, this file was "iTunes Library 2014-07-23.itl").
4) I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl"
5) I then dragged a copy of the file in step #4 to my iTunes folder (the folder in which you now also have the "iTunes Library.old" file).
6) I closed all remaining apps on my computer that were opened and I restarted it.
7) Now, you don't have any iTunes app on your computer, so I downloaded a .dmg of iTunes 12.0.1.26 and installed the app (for example, you can download from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5661/apple-itunes.
8) Once installed, I opened iTunes and immediately I got the dialogue box, "updating iTunes library" -- THIS TOOK FOREVER AS I HAVE CLOSE TO 1,000 SONGS + OTHER ITEMS IN MY LIBRARY!
9) I patiently waited until the library update completed, but it DID COMPLETE.
10) Viola! iTunes 12 is not "hanging" (or freezing) any longer. I can navigate around the application.
CAVEATS:
1) Before I first deleted "the corrupted" iTunes 12, I was able to open the Preferences panel, go to "Devices", and check the box that stops the app from syncing with my iPhone. This setting seemed to carry over; thus, I have not tried to sync yet…WISH ME LUCK!
2) After going through steps 1-10 above, I didn't immediately have Internet Radio available in the application (i.e., I didn't see it), but it is now showing up and it works! I just had to wait for a few minutes...
3) I also use iTunes Match, but I haven't turned it on yet in the newly installed app. On the iTunes Match page, it says, "Add this computer" or "No thanks". So, the app is behaving as if I'm just beginning to use iTunes Match for the first time. Later, I will click on "Add this computer", and I hope it goes smoothly!
4) This isn't a caveat, but I think I should say: my iTunes library is on an external USB HD (I have to say THANK GOD for that). Obviously, this has implications for doing steps 2 to 5 above. The newly installed iTunes 12 app had no trouble in finding where my library is (I had it set up this way back when I was using iTunes 10).
5) One last piece of advice: Make sure that when you plug your iPhone into any other computer only to re-charge but the iTunes app on that computer wants to sync with your phone, you DON'T let it sync. First, you should go to Preferences in the iTunes app and click on "Devices". Then check the box that says, "Prevent iPods, iPhones,…….from syncing automatically." After that, you would be able to plug in your iPhone to another computer to re-charge it.
FINALLY: I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS WILLING TO SUGGEST SOLUTIONS TO ME REGARDING THIS PROBLEM! I see that MANY users are having this difficulty, so I thought it would be fair for me to share how I resolved the issue -- my iTunes is running fine now...

Working in Lighroom on two computers (synced with Creative Cloud files).

Hi all,
I'm sure this question has been addressed before but I haven't been able to find a relevant discussion on the forums, so hopefully someone can help out.
After I shoot a series of photos (e.g. on a trip or for work) I use Lightroom for my workflow. Rating, flagging, etc. prior to editing (simple edits in LR and then advanced retouching in Photoshop). I have traditionally done all of this on one computer with one LR catalog, and only one computer needs to have a full catalog on it at the end of the day (not both).
Really, the only thing that needs to sync is the metadata (XMP's are fine) and any changes to the original files (e.g. if I edit one in Photoshop). I have a full CC membership at my disposal, as well as things like Dropbox, Cubby, etc.. Here's what I thought about doing, please let me know what you think or if there's a better way in your mind:
1. Create folder on Computer A in the Creative Cloud folder (or Dropbox, or whatever).
2. Import photos to LR catalog on Computer A.
3. Import synced photos to (separate) LR catalog on Computer B.
4. Work on either computer independently, as XMP's and file changes should be synced after working with files.
5. When finished, move folder on Computer A to its rightful place in my albums folder. (Use LR to move the folder so the catalog stays updated).
6. Delete folder/catalog entry on Computer B.
Does this work? If I want to use Lightroom Mobile (sync with my iPad) how will that affect this workflow?
Thanks all!

With the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown). The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
This occurs once, after the last update completes.
The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to. If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.

HELP, PLEASE.. I'm looking for a App that I can install on both my iPad and iPhone, then when I load a document, picture, or anything on that app on iPhone or iPad, it will Sync with the other Device so both devices will end up with the same file .

Pages not syncing with iCloud

I am trying to figure out, why pages is not syncing with iCloud. I have Documents checked in the System Preferences of iCloud on my Mac Book Pro, I have Documents checked on my iPhone and I have the Pages app.
Can someone shine some light on this issue?

The desktop/Mac OS X versions of the iWork apps have not been updated to take advantage of iCloud yet. In the meantime you can go to iCloud.com, sign in & click the iWork icon where you can upload & download files. You could also try e-mail or Dropbox. Hopefully we will see those updates, maybe even a whole new version of iWork, soon.

IWork apps no longer sync with iCloud. I am on iOS 5.1,1, and this problem is several days old, before it was working fine. Anyone has an idea?

Sadly this is not a new problem and I would not expect a forthcoming solution. I bought an iPad 3G and the iWork suite at the end of August and iCloud syncing worked fine. About the time Apple rolled out iOS 6 the syncing stopped working for me (without me upgrading or changing anything). It has never really worked since. Run iOS 5.1.1 on both the iPhone 4 and iPad 3G. The "geniuses" claim that Apples iOS 5 requirement is not correct and that I MUST upgrade both to ios 6 (although I know for fact that lots of folks STILL have the iCloud probs even with its 6. The last genius basically shrugged and non-verbally acknowledged the iCloud/iWork failing and suggested "just use Dropbox.". So why the **** did we pay for iWork!?!?!
Basically the iwork/iCloud Connnection is broken and I have yet to get a viable solution to repair the issue. Sorry for the bad news. For reference I have uninstalled/installed each iteration of iWork upgrades on each device without success. I have reset all settings multiple times, turned iCloud off/on repeatedly etc etc without success. I even wiped the iPad and restored from iCloud w/o intention (another Apple IPad "glitch" when I tried the "reset all settings" and the iPad decided to "erase all" instead. The genius said "it happens.")
Oddly, the Pages app is the only one that has marginally worked at times since the first probs. However it is basically broken and non-functioning. Certainly DO NOT trust vital documents to iCloud/iWork. I lost a number of work critical docs in this whole annoying, messy process of trying to get what Apple promised as easy....
