The Dropbox software puts green checkboxes on the sync'ed folders and files, but I feel like it sometimes gets behind, especially for a minute or so after a reboot or sometimes after a crash, or if I shut down or put the machine to "sleep" quickly after a save. I just searched the Dropbox website, and despite the wording, I do not see a status indicator on my Dropbox menu for Linux. https://help.dropbox.com/sync/check-sync-status For the machines I sync using Dropbox, when I suspect it has not synchronized, I use the Dropbox menu to "Pause Syncing" wait a few seconds, then "Resume Syncing" from the same menu. Judging by the hard drive activity (on those machines having a rotational drive) I suspect that procedure causes it to refresh its indexes and sync any missed files. ----- > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. > _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
