Is it possible to use Dropbox on a local server?
I have been looking for a solution for our small business with 5-6 users, currently ~700gb of data on our shared dropbox. I would like to make local file access (at the office) easier for everyone. Right now it is fairly slow for me to update a file and then have that file sync to all the other users. If we were to put a windows PC on our local network, install dropbox, and then share that local dropbox folder as a shared drive for all users on our LAN, would that create any issues? We could still access all the files outside of our LAN through the dropbox app I know there are NAS options for this, but they rely on third party apps to sync to dropbox. I'd rather use the native dropbox app running on a windows PC if possible.
Sharing activity in the desktop app isn't working.
Hi Team, Yesterday, for a reason that I am not sure of(the only thing we did, was add another user with access to a certain dir)...the "sharing activity" has stopped working...we are working on a shared dropbox with several people constantly updating /adding files...and now on the app, you cant see the changes being made... Its on different computers....but tried reinstalling the app, restarting etc...nothing. any help will be appreciated,
