I have some syncing problems with WD MyCloud EX2 nasbox app

I have a WD MyCloud EX2 nas drive and the dropbox cloud syncing app doesn't work.  I've been through troubleshooting with WD and they tell me that it is a problem with the dropbox app, not their syst...

Sure Dad!  Regarding "HP".  To quote from "The Princess Bride".  "HP...You keep saying that word.  I don't think it means what you think it means."

 

My real question is, What exactly do I tell WD - Western Digital...again, WD (Not HP)?!  What do they need to fix.  I've contacted Dropbox support and they responded much like you did..not much *real* help.

 

Thanks.

Same here.
Just bought a 2x4TB WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra. 

Can't (fully) connect to DropBox. But this was the whole point of having a NAS in the first place, to have local synced copy of my Dropbox-data...

    I am facing similar issue. 

    I have WD Ex2 Ultra and configured Dropbox app to sync files.

     

    Ofcourse, Syncing is slow. But issue is, When I create file or folder on DROPBOX, does not reflect to my NAS!!

      Don't waste your time, it doesn't work because WDs file system doesn't support DB functions. That's vapour ware.
      Buy a used small pc (I have an old MacMini for € 150,-) and hook up a cheap (or expensive) external hard disk, install DB and point the DB to it. That can run with very little energy in the background and you could easily take the hard disk and hook it to another computer.

        Thanks for the prompt reply.

         

        But I am stuck! My main issue is, Ex2Ultra cloud works fine within same network. 

        I want my other team to use same Database of my WD Ex2 Ultra at another office. I am looking for real time dual sync to and from both locations. 

         

        Any better suggestion ? 

        Once again I really appreciate your help.
