#DROPSYNC NOT UPLOADING FULL#

The DropSync app can be downloaded from the Google Play store (once you’ve enabled this on your Boox device), and I’d recommend paying the small amount for the Pro version which gives you the full functionality. To achieve this, I use the DropSync app (note: there are also versions of this app for other cloud services). Furthermore, as well as syncing my notes, I want to sync other reading material such as annotated PDFs.

These restrictions don’t suit my workflow. That would make Dropbox much more versatile, and not dependent on 3rd party app developers coding for each cloud filesharing app (which clearly doesn't happen).The Boox has a built-in function to sync (the PDFs created from) notes to DropBox, but you can’t choose which DropBox folder to sync to and nor can you choose which notebook to sync: you either sync all your notebooks or none at all.

I do wish that the Android Dropbox client implemented an optional polling interval or an interrupt that would trigger a sync when files are changed locally by any app. However, what I've ended up doing is switching to a 3rd party app that allows direct Dropbox access (KeePass2Android-quite a nice product!), which works around this limitation. This is really disappointing! The "DropSync" app appears to be written specifically to bridge this gap, and I may experiment with that. If a 3rd party app doesn't specifically notify Dropbox of a file change (as Word appears to do), Dropbox itself is not periodically polling those files on its own to see if they've changed.

And if I jump through a few hoops (force dropbox to close, then re-open) Dropbox will re-query the local copies of the files in that common folder area, and sync any changes up.įrom some further reading, it appears that the Android Dropbox client does not implement full, bi-directional sync in the way that the PC client does. However, on Android, apps can definitely access common file system areas and share data with other apps, which is how I can always open the most recent version of my file from the local dropbox folder location using a 3rd party app. I can't even attempt what I described above on an iPhone without jailbreaking unless the app supports direct dropbox connections. I understand what you're saying, and in iOS, apps are absolutely sandboxed from each other. To me, this makes it look like an issue with Dropbox not detecting when a file has been updated by a 3rd party app that's not Microsoft. After force-closing, re-opening, and getting the sync, the text file retained the changes from multiple editors. One interesting note is that if I edited the file sequentially in several, the changes I'd made in the prior text editor were still in the file, so whatever local cached copy of the file Dropbox presents is actually being updated, it's just not triggering a sync event. txt files, I tried multiple 3rd party editors, all with the same results as the OP. I have uninstalled and re-installed Dropbox on my Android. I also tested using Word for Android, and that also instantly syncs a changed docx file when I click save.

However, if I edit the exact same text file using the built-in Dropbox text editor on Android, as soon as I click the save icon, I hear the notification ding on my Windows 10 box. Likewise, if I edit a keepass database saved in Dropbox, it is not synced until I force close dropbox on my Android, and re-open it. If I force close drop box, as soon as I re-open the app, the updated text file is immediately synced (I have Dropbox notifications in Windows 10-very handy for diagnosing this).

If I create a text file on dropbox, and edit it with a 3rd party Android text editor, I see the same symptoms as the OP: file remains unmodified in dropbox.
