Dropbox Sync; Configuring A New Task - Buffalo TeraStation 5010 User Manual

Notes:
• If a shared folder created through this process is configured to use NFS, it cannot be mounted from an NFS
client.
• Files cannot be uploaded to this shared folder using WebAccess.
• If using the cloud storage through a proxy server, click Proxy Settings. In the displayed page, you can select
if using the configured settings or setting identical proxy server. If using the identical proxy server, select
"New settings" and enter the proxy server name, port number, username, and password. Ask your network
administrator for detailed proxy server settings.
• To use after the network was temporarily disconnected, click Reconnect.
• If a file is added to the bucket from a folder other than the TeraStation's remote replication folder, it may take
more than an hour for the file to appear in the TeraStation's remote replication folder. However, when a file is
added to the TeraStation's remote replication folder, it immediately appears in the bucket.
• If you enter an incorrect bucket name and then cancel editing the cloud storage service settings, that wrong
bucket name may still accidentally be registered. If this happens, reconfigure the cloud storage service
settings correctly starting from step 4.
• Be careful with existing files in the destination folder, as files with the same name will be overwritten even if
copied files are older.
• If you copy a file to the remote folder using File Explorer or a backup process, the file will also be uploaded
sequentially to the cloud storage bucket. This second uploading process will start in the background during
the first copying process and will not be visible. If you shut down or restart the TeraStation immediately after
copying a file to the remote folder, the file may not be uploaded to the bucket. Try copying the file again if
this occurs.
• If you encounter any upload or download errors, click Error Log. The log will display the filename and
operation during which the error occurred.
• If uploading fails, try copying the file again. If it still fails, click Reconnect or set the cloud storage switch to off
and on again, then restart the cloud storage service.
• If transferring or accessing 1 TB or more files from cloud storage, make sure there is enough free space on
the TeraStation for temporary file caching. For example, when uploading 1 TB of files to cloud storage, it is
recommended to keep at least 2 TB of free space available.

Dropbox Sync

TeraStation files via Dropbox (or Dropbox files via TeraStation). To link your TeraStation with your Dropbox account,
