Sync to Synology for backup

Hello All. 

Im am trying to sync my companyes dropbox business to a synology nas, were we are using cloud sync. 

 

But i can´t get it all down on the NAS. It takes around 500-600 MB down, and says all is synct, but we have 1.5-1.8 TB stored at ouar dropbox. 

i am a administrator in dropbox and have assccess to all the files.

There is plenty of space on the NAS.  

 

Dropbox Team space is also triet, and not working.

    Hi ITMichael, welcome to our Community! 

     

    1.5-1.8TB is a lot of content indeed. How long has this been happening for?

     

    Keep in mind that Dropbox doesn't set caps on the sync, but syncing is a complex process, it's not just a transfer of the files.

     

    During syncing, files are divided into components, compressed, transferred, encrypted and then stored in our servers, so that's why syncing might appear to be a bit slower, compared to your internet speed.

     

    Speaking of which, can you clarify your provider's speed? 

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
