It will save your files for at least 30 days, so check on it occassionally to make sure you aren't deleting anything you don't want deleted. In the past I tried setting dropbox up before with other techniques and it started deleting my files on the cloud! So far so good this time around. If you have a flash/thumb drive, you will first need to mount it. I just left the folder as I originally used in setup C:\Users\ name\Dropbox and it picked up the link just fine and everything is now syncing to the X:\Dropbox card folder set up with the link.Īs I set up Dropbox, I picked a very small folder through selective sync to make sure everything was working correctly. You can have your Dropbox folder on removable media (a flash/thumb drive) on Windows. When I started Dropbox again it said it lost the link to the dropbox folder and needed to relink. With this syntax mklink /X C:\Users\ name\Dropbox X:\Dropbox it kept telling me that X was an invalid switch so I just removed the /x and it worked like a charm. The syntax in cmd that worked for me on the surface pro was mklink C:\Users\ name\Dropbox X:\Dropbox I've been trying to get this to work for MONTHS! While driving (if necessary) use the mobile wifi hotspot to complete uploads to Dropbox.I tried the other mounting of the card with a link through disk management and it didn't work at all. While I sleep, use the location's WiFi to upload to a shared folder on Dropbox. All files uploaded to Dropbox are encrypted, and one of the preprocessing stages for encryption is compression. Take photographs during the day (probably 200-300 per day Raw + jpeg)Įach evening I will transfer a copy of selected files to my iPad via a Kingston Mobilelite device.

There is no circuit involved, so it only takes minutes to get the project up and running. I will be spending a decent amount of time in the rental car each day which will be equipped with a mobile WiFi hotspot device and each night I will be staying in a B&B or hotel with WiFi. The Arduino Yun will back up your SD card files on Dropbox, and the best part is that all you have to do is insert the SD card and watch.

Allow me to backup files to dropbox for safekeeping and sharing with folks back home. You can do it as follows: File dbFile new File (System.IO.Path.Combine ( (Syst em.Environmen t.Speci alFolder.Pe rsonal), 'myDB.db3')) After you have dbFile variable, you can copy it to SD card or export to Dropbox/GDrive. Allow me to review photos each evening on my iPad.Ģ. You need to retrieve your database file first. I am heading to Ireland in June and, while looking for a way to deal with photos, I have come across an option I wanted to run by the experts for confirmation that I will be able to accomplish the following:ġ.
