really good job mate :) astonishing app!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dschoenike:
For the most part its working great on my sprint touch pro. One issue though, and im not quite sure whats even supposed to happen. When I click the settings icon, the screen flickers but no setting appear.

bug

Hi,

Beautiful work. Found today.

Proposal: is it possible to automatically log in?

Following error when I clicked a folder with pictures in my dropbox, see attachement.

Thanks.

HTC TYTN II-DUTCH

error in version 0.4.2 apparently resolved. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
It can be very interesting. I will give it a try this weekend and will report later...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bronx:
umm... I've just tried both and I wonder how could You find cloudfiles worse than this. sorry to op for my opinion, but cloud files at this stage of developement is more advanced, stable and complete plus looks darn sweet.

imho d1k_is needs to set his price really low in order to compete with cloudfiles.

no hard feelings, just my two cents.

Files are deleted when syncing from mobile

Hello,

First of all, congratulations for your great product.

I'm using the last available version (purchased today prom handango) and my firsts test are quite frustating.

When i sync from my mobile phone all the folders under the selected path are deleted in the dropbox server and the mobile phone.

I've detected a quite unusual thing, in the dropbox server the hour logged for the deletion is two hours before the real time (i'm in Spain GMT+2) but in dropbox and in the phone the timezones are correct. I've looked in the settings file and the last sync time has the format (year-month-day, hour;minute:second+02)

Please, can you provide any hint about the problem?

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mps1773:
I have already purchased v1.2 ...how do I get the update to 1.3?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Yes a scheduled sync or a command line parameter would be great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
sync problem

I bought the 1.3 version from handango today and I found that the app is not working fine.

I need the sync feature but... it deletes files, expecially in subfolders. I am not able to find a rule for it. cannot understand why and when but if it does like this the program is not usable. you risk to delete all your files :(

but it is a pity: it looks like 99% of the work is well done. i'm sure it is just a little bug and I really hope it will be fixed soon.

now, I'm wondering if I can have the update for free since the program I bought is not usable.

can anyone tell me?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Great app, but is do not sync subfolders properly, it ofen deletes the files in the subfoler and chrashes in the next sync. Colud the syncing of subfolders be switched off? That would be a quick workaround for the short term.

The new syncing window is a great idea, but is too narrow to show the file name and path. Could you make it broader?

Thanks a lot. Pedro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
I was experiencing troubles even in the "root" of a synced folder. In the PC I changed one file, then deleted it and added a new one. The global difference was (+ 1 file) (- 1 file). The resould with my mobile was that both of them were deleted....

It's such a pity that it does not work properly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
I made some test and I want to give some detail to the developer hoping it can help. I'm working on a subfolder of a synced folder.

(1) PC: added about 25 short files - they were uploaded in dropbox as usual.

(2) MOBILE: synced. The files were downloaded in the mobile phone (droppedboxx) - everything seems correct - NOTE: if I check on dorpobox website, it says "You edited XXXXXX.XXX" for each file that was synced in mobile

(3) MOBILE: sync again. The files were all deleted from the dropbox but VERY STRANGE they are still in the mobile... This can explain what happens in next step

(4) MOBILE: sync again. The files are deleted in the mobile phone. From a certain point of view this is correct since the dropbox does not contain them anymore... The subfolder in mobile is present but empty; the subfolder is completely deleted in dropbox.

Hope the developer will solve all this :-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Hi guys,

Sorry for the lack of replies lately been pretty busy.

I cant seem to work out the issues with syncing all the testing I have done has worked perfectly though I'm thinking its something to do with Timezones, I'll get back to you.

About the Updates, yes all updates are free so when I release another 1 you should be able to re-download it from Handango.

I'll have to do some testing on it and go through these steps...

How long between syncing are you waiting?

I'm assuming you have the correct Time and date set on your devices?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thesecondsfade:
I think a failsafe in the meantime should ask you if you want to confirm deleting the files/folders before it actually does it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
The synces were made between minutes. Just to let you know, I live in Italy (GMT+2). Today I tried to make some changes in my dropbox account. In account settings there are some specifications that relay on timezones. But I got no good resoult :(

What I find very strange is that seems the syncing works for somebody so the question is WHY?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
I was wondering... My timezone is GMT+1 but in summer is GMT+2. Could it depend on this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SublimeMogul:
Glad I read this thread

I almost purchased this program. But after reading page after page of people who can't get it to work I can't see any reason for me to spend money to try something that may not even work. Sorry Hopefully one day it will work well enough that it will be worth purchasing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
Well, to tell the truth I would download the free version and use it! It works well. The Sync option is the one that should make you buy the full version but, as you saw, it is not working. Stay tuned, I hope the little problems will be solved in a little time. If you look back you can see the developer is working on the project. I think he is on holiday now since it is not answering since 20 days...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reijkelhof:

Where can I get the actual Version of DroppedBox?? I can only find the Beta Version: v0.7.1. =(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CyberDonky:
For newer versions of DroppedBoxx, you have to pay for it.

You can buy it on his Dev. Website of this amazing App! ^^
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
i would not buy it. only difference is sync. and does not work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
Version 1.4 is far much improved for all the sync issues.

But I found another one. If, for any reason, the internet connection goes down while it is syncing the program will delete the fine on whom it was working with.

Once you fix this error it seems ok.

Hope it will happen soon :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cugel:
Version 1.4 has solved sync issues for me, currently working great :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
v1.4 is now available through Marketplace. Seems to be getting some pretty good feedback as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclu:
For me too, working great in HD2 stock 1.66 rom, I'm very happy!

Good job d1k_is:), thank you!

issue when renaming files

I was playing with files in dropbox folder (on the pc) folder and for such strange reason it happened this:

file xxx

file yyy

sync: everything fine

delete xxx

rename yyy_to xxx

sync: the new xxx file was not updated. to get it i had to open it, modify and save again. then it was uploaded.

hope it will be fixed!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Not too sure what I can actually do about this issue as the file isnt actually modified when its renamed and since DroppedBoxx is checking against the ModifiedDate of a file this would be incorrect.

I'll do some digging and see if there is anything I can do about this.

Thanks for the feedback though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
mmmhhh, try to do your best!

more important is to fix the problem of loosing connection while sync is running: it makes you loose the file! And IT HAPPENS! Otherwise it cannot be reliable.

good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kongocui:
Run prog. Hover above the main screen and the My Documents folder

How to install a different folder instead of this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
You can add other folders for syncing by clicking the "New" button on the top right then browsing to the folder and clicking the "Add" button (This adds the folder your in to the list)

You can also remove folders by selecting them from the list and clicking "Remove"

Hope this helps, Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Not too many posts lately...

I hope that means everything* is working well...?

I'm pretty happy with the current build thanks to all those who have been using the app since the beginning as well as the new comers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corrzini:
it is wotking but still I loose files from time to time. Actually I'm waiting for a new relase that fixes the issues I already noticed. I do not rely on it very much.

however, a nice improvement could be a scheduler...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flippertie:
Now this may be a dumb question......

Is there an official Droppedboxx page anywhere that gives the current version, pricing information, trial /beta options etc?

I'd like to try Droppedboxx before choosing between this and the Ruttensoft.com offering.

I've seen mention of a trial beta version, and a lot of links to this thread and to a blog post describing v1.1. (dkdevelopment.net/2010/06/03/droppedboxx-dropbox-for-windows-mobile/)

I've also got links to "buy before you try" v1.4 at windowsphone.com for $1.99 and handango.com for $2.50

Am I missing something obvious?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] md76:
Hi,

great product! Syncing is working fine for me with version 1.4 now. However, I can't log into my account with 1.4. To do this, I need to install 1.3, log in, then install 1.4 and use the stored login information.

Sometimes it would also be nice to get some extra information of what is happening or some summary at the end of the sync, like:

* local files changed/added/deleted

* remote files changed/added/deleted

* a log file giving details of the add/delete operations

It would also be helpful to have a local Trash folder to recover locally deleted files (for remote the Dropbox undelete can be used). For example, if I move an already existing file/folder into an already synced folder on the PDA (the file time stamp doesn't change), it usually gets deleted in the next sync process. Hence being able to undo or even notice this delete in some way would be nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axelpix:
Just bought this app from Marketplace.

Syncing files from Dropbox to mobile device works fine, but when I move some new files to the syncing folder on my phones SD card, they all will get lost during sync. Not only will they not sync, they really get deleted from the SD too. I already lost some important files!

Absolutely unusable so far!!:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclu:
Exactly the same problem, i lost important files that:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] melote:
Same here syncing new files in already synced WM folders ends up with data loss at the WM folder. Some fine-tuning here would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, syncing results in a quite dangerous option.

Also, that .trash option (with configurable keep-it time, may be) sounds great.

Optional one-way syncing could be also useful for some backup specific routines.

Great app overall. Thanks for sharing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Great82:
I've just bought it and I have the same problem.

I've lost a lot of files :-/

Hi,

I have 1.4 version in a Windows Mobile but I can't login, always it say "login failed" but I can login in dropbox perfectly!

Do you know what's happening?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mg-bass:
Dear d1k_is,

I bought droppedBoxx from Handango. And was pretty impressed by it's functionality compared to cloudfiles and the design of the gui.

Unfurtunatly I found out, that it has not synced correctly. I lost files and furtunatly I had backup files.

This evening I did some trails and found out that files failing to sync have been changed on dropbox side and do have german Umlaute (ä,ö,ü), "(" brakets or % (percentage signs) in the filename. Actually I think I have seen the following effect. The file seems to be downloaded (droppedboxx displays that it downloads the file from the dropbox to the mobile) but actually the file on the mobile was unchanged!

Changes of these files on the mobile were succesfully uploaded. Even though I have before seen the effect, that not all files with special characters where uploaded to dropbox.

Furthermore I do also support the idea of having more information available after syncing, what files have been updated.

Best Regards,

mg-bass
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnewtonne:
Where are you d1k_is: do we not deserve a reply?

Same issue here. Putting new files in the sync folder deleted all of them. I lost 15-20 very important files.

Since this is a paid app, you must fix this major issue or give people their money back.

I just wanted to check with you before I contact Microsoft for a refund or even call DropBox.com to have them warn their customers from being this app.

I hope we hear back from you soon.

Thank you.

I bought Droppedbox but I can't figure out how to get it to work on my HTC Diamond phone. It installed but won't run - I get an errorthat it needs a newer version of the .net compact framework. How do I install that? I found a download for NETCFSetupv35.msi, but that won't install on the phone. NETCFSetupv35.msi did install on my PC, but that doesn't seems to transfer to the phone. Is there a doc that explains how to navigate all of these hurdles?

Hi,

it's amazing soft. But I miss one function - autosync(at start, respectively after periodic time).

It's possible create/add it ? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abramq:
After buying that app..

Why it saves pictures I take in the Root directory? Why not in Photo directory? Why not in the folder user could show for example in Preferences?

JA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
The camera function uploads the photo to which ever folder you were in when you pressed the camera button (ie. in the root press the camera button and it will upload there. browse to the photos folder and press the camera button and your photos will be uploaded to there.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abramq:
Well...is it better?

Ok, this solution works. Anyway, user should always remember to set the right folder before he takes the picture. So the risk is he put the picture to the wrong folder (ie. to the folder where nobody should see anything ;) The second thing is that sometimes you want to take picture quickly - no time to change folders. And not making a mess with pictures placed in every folder ;)

People use to put their pictures in one know folder, to keep them clear, to easy browsing.

That's why in my humble opinion picture folder should be defined in preferences :)

I'm Back

Hi DroppedBoxx users,

Firstly sorry for the lack of replies lately, I have been pretty busy with a few different projects + moving + work.

But, dont worry, I have not forgotten about you!

I am aware of the Issues with the current version (where syncing deletes files that have been moved into a sync folder)

v1.5 was a meant to be a fix to that where it would check against the files last access time but it looks like there was an issue uploading this version.

I have been working on a complete overhaul of the syncing feature recently which will fix all of issues to do with loosing files.

Since I no longer have my WM6.5 phone testing is a bit more difficult so I will most likely ask for some users to beta test a version in a week or so if all goes well.

Again, sorry for the lack of replies but I'm back now!

DK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elecconnec:
I take it all back! Just downloaded v1.6 from Handango, and the sync engine has been completely overhauled and works fantastic.

My only (very minor) quibbles now:

1) I can't figure out how to _stop_ syncing a folder any longer. There's no "remove" option (or at least I can't find it.) My workaround is to rename the folder I no longer want to sync with File Manager, then at next sync DroppedBoxx will notice the folder is missing and ask if you want to remove it.

2) You can't sync two folders with the same name (e.g. \My Documents and \Storage Card\My Documents.) If you try, DroppedBoxx merges the contents of the two folders. (The older versions had the same limitation, but I could workaround it by changing a config file DroppedBoxx created. That workaround no longer works. No big deal.)

Thanks again. A good app became a great one, and is a steal at two lousy bucks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Thats great news, thanks for the feedback!

1, Your right this was accidently removed when the sync folder view changed.

2, hmmm, this 1 might be a bit trick as even though they are different folders on the device they will both link to the same folder on Dropbox. Would a suitable workaround be to add a number to the end of the folders name on Dropbox so that: (this functionality wouldnt be too hard to add)

\My Documents -> Dropbox\My Documents

Storage Card\My Documents -> Dropbox\My Documents1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chef_Tony:
i'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but i am new to this app and also to dropbox. i created an account, then filled it using my pc's sync folders. then yesterday, i purchased your app from handango. it appears to be version 1.6 and i can access my dropbox from there, but sync does not work as i would have expected.

i created an folder \storage card\dropbox\

which is supposed to be the main directory, and when i press sync, i expected it to download all my stuff, including the base folders.

but it does not download anything and when i paste files in \storage card\dropbox\ in my dropbox account they show up in

\dropbox\droppedboxx\dropbox\

but i don't want to use useless subfolders on my pcs to be able to sync them to my phone, is there anyway to set the mobile app's sync folder to the main dropbox? and then sync all subfolders?

i would appreciate a fast response, since my phone will probably take up a lot of time downloading my 1.5GB and i would need to get it going before the weekend.

also, as an idea: could you include an feature to set an automatic sync schedule to send/receive items automatically? i don't know about other users but sensible sync times might vary from every 10 minutes to once a week.

one more question: how do future updates of the app work, when purchased on handango? is there an automatic in-app update or do i receive them through handango email notifications?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1k_is:
Hi Tony, Thanks for the feedback.

First of all, DroppedBoxx's sync function was never designed to work with the entire Dropbox folder. It was meant to be more of a way to sync file from different folders on the phone (as a backup etc.) this is why the folders map to /DroppedBoxx/[foldername]

I have had many requests about and auto sync/scheduled sync and its something I'm looking into, will get back to you about a timeline etc.

I'm not 100%sure about how updates work from handango, I know its not in-app updates. Pretty sure you get an email and have to re-download and install the app.

Hope this could help.
