Also made sure selective sync wasn't the problem. I checked Dropbox's documentation as well as running a bad file check. But I don't recall ever having this issue before.
so I'm assuming the only issue is the name. If I named it " Documents" (space first), "_Documents" "Document" etc, it would sync. If I created a new folder and named it "Documents" it wouldn't sync. While trying to figure out why, I found that if i renamed the folder, it would sync. So I moved the Documents folder inside the dropbox folder and then symlinked that back to the original location. I wanted to backup my Documents folder with dropbox. (I copied those folders to the HDD with all original permissions, resource forks, etc. For my user folder I put everything on the HDD except the "library" folder and symlinked them back to the home folder on the SSD. I put the OS/Apps on the SSD and my media on the HDD. I recently setup an SSD/HDD situation in my MBP after removing the optical drive. If I create it on it won't sync to my local machine. If I create it on my local machine, it won't sync to dropbox.
depending on the shell.This should probably go on the dropbox forums, but they don't seem very active and the people here are very clever, so please bear with me.ĭropbox won't sync any folder called "Documents". Shells understand this alternate convention and set things up appropriately for a login shell, typically reading an initialization file such as ~/.profile, ~/.login, ~/.bash_profile, etc. When a login program invokes a shell, it violates this convention and puts an extra hyphen before the program name. The normal convention is to use the base name of the executable as argument 0. For example, when you run cp foo bar, this executes the executable file located at /bin/cp (on typical systems), and passes cp as argument 0, foo as argument 1 and bar as argument 2. A login shell is the initial shell of a text mode session.Ĭonventionally, when a program invokes another program, it passes the program's name as argument 0 command line arguments are numbered starting from 1.
A login program is a program where you typically type your password and that starts a session for you, such as login, sudo -i, su -, sshd, etc. A minus sign before the command name is a convention that login programs use to start login shells.
