Good Morning

 

We are trying to use DB to share data between 4 servers.

 

We have a task in those server who write an automatic file everyday at 18:00hrs

 

How can we use DropBox and forçe to upload those files without login windows server ? 

 

The files only upload after we login windows.

 

Thanks

Hey @Carlos Fernandes Digitex, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.

 

I'm afraid this isn't currently possible with the Dropbox application.

 

Aside from the fact that Windows Servers are not really a supported environment for the Dropbox app, in order for the app to work and sync, the user needs to be logged in to Windows.

 

I hope this clarifies things, but let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks.

This is actually how the application works, @Carlos Fernandes Digitex, so there's no solution, but I will leave this thread open, in case another user has a similar experience and can offer you some pointers.

 

If you have any other questions, let us know.

 

Have a great weekend!
