#Chronosync could not safely replace how to
Ideally I want to be able to access the external drive also from my laptop via Dropbox and have changes made there also be made on the drive, but I do not see how to sync the external drive with dropbox except to set it up as a backup. Obviously the easiest way to do this is to just work within a dropbox folder, but the issue is complicated by the external hard drive where I store most of my projects (instead of directly on the mac's hard drive). My idea is that I want to be able to work on my Mac mini, and have it immediately sync so that if I open the project on my laptop, the changes are automatically there.
#Chronosync could not safely replace pro
I use pro tools and logic, and my goal is to have a redundant system between by Mac mini (which is always connected to an external hard drive), my Mac Pro, additional back up hard drives and dropbox. I'm trying to set up my backup/storage system and am really just stuck trying to figure it all out. You're welcome to email them a feature request/suggestion for this though, as I think it would be immensely beneficial to a massive amount of people, and fairly easy for them to set up structurally given they already have that in place for other cloud services.ĬhronoSync and dropbox are currently my main backup/sync solutions, so if you need any further assistance/have more questions please feel free to reach out to me or comment here. This would be solved very easily if ChronoSync natively supported dropbox and it's API, like it currently does for Google cloud storage or iCloud, but they haven't implemented that as of yet. This ultimately means that if files are replaced on your external hard drive by versions in dropbox during the sink process, those files will be corrupted on the hard drive, because they are looking for their online counterparts in dropbox which don't exist on your hard drive. If it isn't, ChronoSync will sync only the fake dropbox placeholders for the files, and not grab the actual contents of the files/folders. In order for everything to work correctly, anything that sinks from dropbox to somewhere else via ChronoSync needs to be always off-line. The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is it's a little complicated, because ChronoSync doesn't understand that dropbox can have online and off-line files. I'm surprised no one answered this for you.
