Dropbox and Transcend JetDrive Lite expansion cards
I was wondering if anyone had had any success storing their Dropbox folder on one of these expansion cards? I have one for my MacBook Pro and would love to keep a rather large Dropbox folder on there...
Hmm, not sure about that. I moved the whole Dropbox folder to the Transcend and once you format it and install a bit of software that mounts and unmounts the drive when putting the computer to sleep it all works really well.
Think I may have solved this on my own. I reformatted the card to Mac OS (Journaled) and it all now works well.
Hi Andy, could you explain how you did this please? I just got a Transcend Jetdrive and formatted the card accordingly, but with Selective Sync the only folders that can be selected are the ones under my user folder (and the Jetdrive isn't one of them). I know it's an old topic, but I'm really stuck here. Thanks!
I just purchased a JetDrive yesterday. After formatting it, I needed to re-link my dropbox to the Transcend/JetDrive SD card. The selective sync only controls what syncs to your DropBox location, not what folder you use for DropBox. Go to Settings/preferences/Account and you will see an option to unlink your DropBox. Then re-link it to the JetDrive. DropBox will re-sync to that new location and then you can delete the old DropBox folder.
One thing about JetDrive that I have not gotten to work. When my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, the operating system doesn't always mount the JetDrive before DropBox throws an error saying it can't see the folder location, causing DB to quit and then I have to re-launch DB (huge pain). Using the JetDrive settings hasn't fixed it either. I'll repost if I figure it out.
I'm hitting the same wall. I formatted the drive as per the instructions for the JetDrive Lite on my MBP 15' Retina. My company DB account was getting too big to keep on the original hard drive hence the expansion with JetDrive. However, upon waking the computer, it doens't always recognized the JetDrive and subsequently won't sync the DB account. I often have to remove and re-insert the JetDrive Lite disc which it meant to not be removed frequently.
Am I missing something in the formatting that may be causing this? Is it an issue with the JetDriveLite that another product doesn't have perhaps? I'm assuming it's something im doing/not doing...
