Hi all, Is it a bad idea to use DropBox as a backup system for Subversion repositories? Has anyone tried using Subversion with an an online file sharing utility like DropBox? What's your experiences? My concern is whether this will work - mainly because Subversion maintains locks and it's very specific about it. I'm not sure if DropB...
I have a strange situation with PHP working differently from HTML. I'm not a web programmer, just messing around. In HTML my images appear fine, in PHP the images are broken. And only public images from my Dropbox https server are broken, ones from a http server work. As an example, here are two files on my localhost, abc.html and def.p...
I realize that there are similar questions, but my question is slightly different. I'm wondering whether sharing a bare repository via a synchronized DropBox folder on multiple computers would work for sharing code via GIT. Really what I want to know is: is sharing a GIT repo via DropBox (the repo gets updated on each person's local dri...
I see many CS students who use Dropbox as an alternative to real SC systems due to its ease of use. Do you use Dropbox as a quick-and-dirty source control solution? Is this a valid use for it? ...
Sorry for the crappy title. I have a repository of product images (approximately 55,000 and growing by about 1000 a year) that changes daily (up to 100 images added, modified and/or deleted every day). I need three people to have access to making the above changes (so they can read/write to the directories). They will all be using wind...
I use Eclipse to write Java code and use DropBox to sync my code with others' across our multiple computers. Most of the time, everything works as expected: if anyone makes a change on either end, the change is saved and when the other person refreshes the Eclipse workspace, the changes come through and can be viewed and run successfully...
I'm developing an app in Visual C++ that uses an SQLite3 DB for storing data. Usually it sits in the tray most of the time. I also would like to enable putting my app in a DropBox folder to share it across several PCs. It worked really well up until DropBox has recently updated itself. And now it says that it "can't sync the file in us...
Hello! Is there a file sharing service akin to Dropbox or SugarSync that would offer an API? I would like to add a file sharing service to a website, but the full Dropbox interface is still too complicated for my users, so that I’d like an API to build a dead-simple list of files integrated to the website. There is a Dropbox API project ...
Hi, I'm looking for an API to work with dropbox.com from .NET. ...
In Windows the Dropbox client uses python25.dll and the MS C runtime libraries (msvcp71.dll, etc). On OS X the Python code is compiled bytecode (pyc). My guess is they are using a common library they have written then just have to use different hooks for the different platforms. What method of development is this? It clearly isn't Iron...
Hello, I'm looking for a webbased solution like DropBox or a solution to integrate with DropBox where I can control the files like Microsoft Visual SourceSafe a check in/out system. Thanks in advance. ...
I hear a lot of Emacs users have their init file (.emacs or init.el) under git version control and sync the git repository over Dropbox, when they run Emacs on multiple systems. Why would you use git in this situation exactly? Usually checking which system you're on and which things to load and set depending on that can happen in one a...
I'm trying to use a GridView to display a list of components in ASP.NET. I'm trying to make it editable at the same time. One of the columns is a string that should be selected out of a list when the user edits the row. So I've tried the following: Convert the BoundField row to an ItemTemplate Add a dropbox to the template window ...
The script I used fetched a file from https://www.dropbox.com/browse_plain/$REMOTEDIR?no_js=true which now returns: HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND Server: nginx/0.7.63 Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 17:02:44 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive location: /home p...
I have registered and been approved, created my application and made a key/secret. I'm using the dropbox-php and I'm unable to download/retrieve files but I am able to access metadata info. I have tagged my application as 'sandbox' and not metadata info. I am able to access the metadata info fine: $dropbox = new Dropbox_API( KEY, SECRE...
This question was close to mine, but not quite. I have a Windows desktop and a MacBook Pro. I'd like to be able to keep my Eclipse workspace in my Dropbox folder. The problem is that many project settings change between platforms: references to JREs, JDKs, and other libs. Every discussion I've seen of this problem seems to suggest taki...
I have a Core Data app that will end up being an iPhone/iPad universal application. I would like to implement cloud syncing so that an iPhone and an iPad both running the app could share data. I'm planning to use the recently released Dropbox API. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to go about doing this? The Dropbox API allo...
I am considering using DropBox to sync user data with a delphi app. It would seem to solve lots of problems regarding security, permissions, etc... I see that there are some API samples for C#, python, etc.. Has anyone done it with Delphi, and if so, are there samples available? ...
I want to run a script to check whether certain files in my Dropbox folder have changed. I am currently using os.path.getmtime() to check that the modified time is in some window of time.time(). The problem is that if I modify a file in my Dropbox folder from a different computer than where the script is set to run, the modified time doe...
Is there any way to use Dropbox to sync selected local files? I like the idea of being able to switch some Dropbox folders to local. Because here, in Australia we still have data limits. The scenario is that I need to sync Dropbox files on my iMac with my Macbook with only selected files syncing online (for client access). Because I wor...
