This script will sync your Dropbox directory. You don't need a script to do that, but this script will manage the daemon and will avoid to run Dropbox when you don't need it.
- The Dropbox daemon will be started
- The Dropbox directory will be synchronized with the cloud
- The Dropbox daemon will be stopped
It can be specially useful in combination to the export-encrypted script.
Script level configuration:
| Script | Enabled |
|---|---|
| CLIENT PRE-SCRIPT | NO |
| CLIENT POST-SCRIPT | YES |
| JOB PRE-SCRIPT | NO |
| JOB POST-SCRIPT | YES |
If you are using it in combination with export-encrypted.sh script, make sure that the
export-dropbox.sh is executed after the export-encrypted.sh.
