How to Sync my second hard drive again to Dropbox
I run a telescope imaging system in California while I live in Virginia. I've had Dropbox installed for a good number of years but some time back I had to stop syncing as the system was in repair. Fo...

Dropbox StaffYou'll need to reinstall the Dropbox desktop application on the remote machine to be certain it's working normally, and then test it by adding a file there to see if it appears on your local computer.
I think a college has pointed me to Preferences section to set the Sync settings. At the moment it appears to be promising. I'll check in later, possibly tomorrow to see how this evenings run goes. Should have several hundred files if successful. Otherwise I'll start from scratch maybe.
Thanks for the assist.
I got tied up with running a remote telescope so back again. I'm actually about to send a new NUC out to the telescope site across the country and need to set this computer up to transfer the images files as they download. I can't say my home system is syncing so I'm asking is I uninstall the home computer and reinstall then install on the new computer would this resolve the syncing error? Do I risk any of the already stored data?

Hey Steve R.8 - if you're facing a syncing issue on both of your devices, then reinstalling the app would be a good troubleshooting step.
The files you see on the website when you log into your account will not be affected by that process.
Let us know of any updates!
So I've installed Dropbox on the new computer in my office that is replacing the one at the telescope out in California. What I want to sync from that computer is the new image data that will be save in drive E in the SRO Data folder (E:\SRO Data) so what steps do I need to perform to have Dropbox sync those with my home computer on the drive and folder I want that data copied to? In this case the local drive would be (F:\SRO Data). And also keep all the other folders that now exist in my Dropbox account not sync to the remote Telescope computer?
