I have some syncing problems with WD MyCloud EX2 nasbox app
I have a WD MyCloud EX2 nas drive and the dropbox cloud syncing app doesn't work. I've been through troubleshooting with WD and they tell me that it is a problem with the dropbox app, not their syst...
Sure Dad! Regarding "HP". To quote from "The Princess Bride". "HP...You keep saying that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."
My real question is, What exactly do I tell WD - Western Digital...again, WD (Not HP)?! What do they need to fix. I've contacted Dropbox support and they responded much like you did..not much *real* help.
Thanks.
Same here.
Just bought a 2x4TB WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra.Can't (fully) connect to DropBox. But this was the whole point of having a NAS in the first place, to have local synced copy of my Dropbox-data...
I am facing similar issue.
I have WD Ex2 Ultra and configured Dropbox app to sync files.
Ofcourse, Syncing is slow. But issue is, When I create file or folder on DROPBOX, does not reflect to my NAS!!
Don't waste your time, it doesn't work because WDs file system doesn't support DB functions. That's vapour ware.
Buy a used small pc (I have an old MacMini for € 150,-) and hook up a cheap (or expensive) external hard disk, install DB and point the DB to it. That can run with very little energy in the background and you could easily take the hard disk and hook it to another computer.
I'ts been about 2 years since I last used the builtin/integrated Dropbox application on my WD My Cloud Mirror (Gen 2). Whe I was using it 2 years ago, I loved the integration. I became and remained a loyal Dropbox customer since the experience. It just worked so beautifully. After a few clicks, I had a physical and cloud backup of my files (I'm a photographer. i have these reoccuring, pressured dreams of of losing photos -- every photo -- haunting). The integration was why I signed up for a team based Dropbox account and immediately paid for the upgraded service with that selective sync. It was streamlined. a FRACKING dreamboat, buddy. So, I started using the integrated Dropbox app on the WD this month. I am experiencing unstable and I guess novel consequences.
This has happened 4 times: when the NAS and Dropbox do seem to be communicating, it seems to be downloading my entire Dropbox drive before it uploads my NAS files. This is is not ideal not in the slightest -- I have over 2TB maxed out on my personal Dropbox Account. This happens inspite of my selectively selected selective sync designations. Selective Sync is implemented to a limited and specific file, but the entire Dropbox drive is downloaded, all 2TB+ onto the NAS. it's robust. Please, help my rekindle that transmission of data. please let me take it with me. the nightmares...

I'd be surprised if WD would have solved the problems with their DP-NAS-integration.
My advice: leave it and don't waste any time solving a problem that's not solvable. Buy a simple Mac/PC and hook up an external large disk or if you have the money a large SD and point DP to this drive. If you have two of them you can swap them once in a while and put one into a safe if you don't trust long term DP data integrity.HP means "Hewlett Packard", hard disk manufacturer and a lot more back in the days...
