Dropbox integration details #194

Closed meoz closed 9 years ago

meoz commented 9 years ago

Hi,

How does the Dropbox integration actually works ? Do each user needs to sign up to Dropbox to have it's data synced to it's personal space or is the integrated dev-account used for every user automatically when syncing is triggered ? And in case of the later, wouldn't be there an issue with storage space running out sooner than later?

Sorry for all the questions but I can't find any info about Dropbox integration of ensembles.

Dropbox's Core API uses the user's folder (they need to sign in before using it). Check the Core API for more information.

Ok thanks for your answer. So it seems when I would want a build-in ability to share data amongst different users, using Dropbox would be a bad idea.

Yes, each user signs in. But I assume it would be possible for each user to sign in with a shared account (e.g. business), and to sync up that way.
