Drop and folder sync - howto?

[Blazejos 8]

Hi @Luke, I'm trying to use both sync plugins, with moderate luck.

I have configured Dropbox sync, yet I don't see any "sync" options in my movies, neither on users settings. I am probably missing something, but can't figure out what it is.

In Folder Sync plugin, I'm at loss what is a "Path" required in configuration?

@cayars

Pls advise. Thanks!

Hi, try using Download To... in the various context menus. That is the new name for it.

Wherever you want the transferred files to be stored.

Nope.. I'm not seeing Dropbox as as destination option in any "Download to".

"Wherever you want the transferred files to be stored."

That doesn't help much.. Folder Sync name suggest I can point out a folder on my NAS (Emby data source) and destination - I'm assuming this is a location of, say, Google Drive files on my NAS? How do I trigger the sync on specific files?

I have used for a Path: /volume1/homes/Blazejos/Drive/Drop/emby

plugin saved files to: /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/volume1/homes/Blazejos/Drive/Drop/emby

Dropbox sync is no show. It seems to me both sync plugin's should be reworked to the emby server level of usability or pulled off the catalogue.. @cayars

I'm in favor of pulling cloud sync plugins as I think it's better to use Rclone which is feature rich in control and supports a ton of providers. Rclone runs on just about every platform as well.

It's a very versatile way to access cloud media file that can be used with Emby in many different ways.

@Blazejoshave you tried this way?

@Luke@cayarsI haven't found rclone in plugins catalogue, nor reliable install manual for my synology, so I gave this up. It's not that big of a deal.
