Dropbox doesn't support NAS units. The way most people use them with Dropbox is through a Dropbox app supplied by the NAS company (a custom, unofficial app that uses the Dropbox API). Check to see if Drobo has their own Dropbox app. If they do, you should be able to link the NAS to your Dropbox account.

    Thanks for coming back to me on this. 

     

    I have looked through all the apps that drobo provide on there NAS. Alas there is no Dropbox app.  i have contacted Drobo Support, but there are ofter slow with their responses.

     

    do you know of any 3rd party  softwares that could do the same job. 

     

    Thanks again

        Hi Megan, 

         

        I sent a ticket to DROBO support to ask them if there is another apps that do a sync service. 

         

        sorry to confuse you, 

         

        any help on 3rd party software would be great ??

         

        Thanks again
