No Syncing

Open TuRDMaN opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

Sorry to bother you again, but I seem to be missing something. After the davfs folder is mounted, where does it sync to? The only thing I've seen in the configuration is which folder gets mounted. In the logs, all I see is the folder being mounted and unmounted. How do I set up the actual syncing?

@TuRDMaN should syncing to the folder configured in .noiselabs/box/box-sync.cfg and defaults to ~/Box. The davfs synchronization is slow, so give it some time to pull all the files.

I don't get it either. The folder configure in the box-sync.cfg is the one that's get mounted via WebDAV, i.e. not the one being synced to. It seems to me like all this tool does is mount a folder.

Unless I'm missing something, I have the same question as those above. Does this program actually synchronize, or does it just mount the webdav folder? Again, I may be misunderstanding things, but looking at the Python source, it appears to just mount a webdav folder (as defined in fstab). I'm looking for a Linux tool that will synchronize with Box.com (so that the files are stored on the local machine and available offline, and synchronized with the Box account, similar to how the Windows client operates). Does this tool perform that function? Thanks -

For the record, I found webdav-sync which does provide bidirectional syncing of a WebDAV folder (including Box).
