well my question is simple, if i am uploading deltasync data to a file, lets say a video file (that i have made minor changes) and at that time i close PC. then PC breaks never opens again so i have ...
Hey andreas781, I'd be happy to answer this one for you!
You mentioned DeltaSync. Do you use an API to connect that with Dropbox, or an integration?
Now, as for your syncing question the general rule of thumb is that whether you're using our app directly, or a third party app, Dropbox needs time to sync the changes.
If you close the device, before that has happened, then the changes won't be visible to Dropbox.
Let's say you have file A and you last update the file on Monday, and everything syncs to the web without an issue. All good so far. If you update it on Wednesday using a third party app, or even our app, but the changes don't have time to sync, you'll only have Monday's version visible.
If you have any questions, let me know.
the thing also is that is very important to put an option to dropbox to shutdown computer after sync completes so that you can leave house and be sure everything goes smooth. is this something you can propose to your admins to do? because now i have to wait for dropbox to finish uploading and then leave my house to make sure all files are synced ok.
how do you think of that?
