    <title>topic What can I install on Dropbox Client Windows 7 to log Date and Time of Pause and Resume Sync? in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I have a remote location (Dropbox Client 1gb/sec connection) that I can not access and it automatically drops a 3gb file into my dropbox 2 times a month. &amp;nbsp;This Dropbox client has LogMeIn installed on it by the system admin. The problem is that I suspect this&amp;nbsp;admin is using LogMeIn to remotely Pause Syncing by remoting into the Dropbox Client Computer thus delaying my ability to edit and publish this 3gb file up to 4 days. &amp;nbsp;My testing on all other client computers (4 all together that I do have access to and he does not) all sync this 3gb file in less than 2 minutes on a 1gb/sec connection. &amp;nbsp;Is there some kind of script I can run run on either the server or the client that would detect if syncing has paused or resumed logging the date and time?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Please Help!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Unfortunately, no, Dropbox doesn't offer any sort of official interface that can be used to programmatically check/change the syncing status like this. I'll send it along as a feature request, but I can't make any promises as to if/when that would be implemented.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the information I hope some day it will be a feature where the client sends logging information back to the server.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the mean time I am going to start writing a Windows Service in Visual Basic 2011 that will use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE id="pre381729" class="notranslate" lang="vbnet"&gt;System.IO.FileSystemWatcher()&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;to monitor the Dropbox folder on the client and write to the eventlog and a seperate log file. &amp;nbsp;This will require getting access to the computer to install the &amp;nbsp;service but I will find a way.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The idea is to fire events for change, newly added and deleted files recursively in the dropbox directory. &amp;nbsp;In the &lt;SPAN&gt;newly added event, I will test the file lock in a loop to see if it has finished copying from the source to the dropbox folder&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;and log the time/date then set a timer to count a reasonable amount of time that it would take of file of that filesize to sync and log that as well if the time was exceeded. &amp;nbsp;I'm sure I will need to consider more and will cross that bridge when I get there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks again&lt;/P&gt;</description>
