Regarding the dedicated /Apps/Textastic restriction, and as far as I can tell, this is not entirely accurate.
#Dropbox not syncing from desktop to ipad manual#
Edit by edit manual uploading is just fighting the Dropbox system, and I would think that most people who are worried about auto-syncing dangers have plenty of other options within Textastic for a safe save/upload cycle. If I wanted FTP, manual, edit by edit, file by file style, I wouldn't be using Dropbox. For most people, that's what "Dropbox support" really represents, the autosync convenience. It seems to me that this is the functionality that really defines Dropbox, i.e, if I'm using Dropbox I've got an autosync mindset/workflow going. Textastic is a great app, and there is just a whole lot to appreciate about it (Thanks!), but I'd have to say that I'm in the must-have-dropbox-autosync camp. So avoid that you have incorrect data in Dropboxaccount. Perhaps it is possible to enable the sync first in one direction, so that the data are always available in the App. I don´t always know what files I have edited on the desktop. At the moment I have to be on the safe side always copy the entire contents (5000 files) before I start work. Has something changed in the Dropbox folder to only those data are updated. Here I would like to see a sync with Dropbox.

Since I have always quite a few files in the app, it is very difficult to update the data.
This means that the data in the app do have a previous state if I want to edit. So ist vermieden, dass man falsche Daten im Dropboxaccount hat. Vielleicht ist es möglich den Sync erstmal nur in eine Richtung zu ermöglichen, so dass die Daten in der App immer aktuell sind. Ich weiß nicht immer welche Dateien ich bearbeitet habe. Im Moment muss ich um auf Nummer Sicher zu gehen immer den ganzen Inhalt (5000 Dateien) kopieren bevor ich mit der Arbeit beginne. Hat sich etwas in den Dropbox-Ordner geändert sollen auch nur diese Daten aktualisiert werden.
Hier würde ich mir einen Sync mit Dropbox wünschen. Da ich immer relativ viele Dateien in der App habe ist es sehr aufwändig die Daten zu aktualisieren. Dies führt dazu, dass die Daten in der App noch einen alten Stand haben wenn ich Sie bearbeiten will. Ich bearbeite natürlich die meisten Dateien auf dem Desktop. (BTW, the editor itself is really, really nice - it looks like an insane amount of work has gone into polishing it.) It'd really help prevent data loss when uploading to dropbox. Hopefully these enhancements wouldn't take too much effort. (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client uploadedFile:(NSString*)destPath from:(NSString*)srcPath metadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata You'll want to store the new metadata.rev value whenever you upload a file. This is the callback you should be using for uploading files, so you have access to metadata.rev. If it's successful, you'll want to store the metadata.rev that you get in the uploaded file callback. If the file has changed remotely, Dropbox will call the "uploadFileFailedWithError:" callback, at which point you can ask the user if they want to overwrite the remote file, and switch to the old upload method. When you upload a file, include the metadata.rev value as the "withParentRev:" argument, if it's a new file, use "nil". Store the "metadata.rev" value somewhere, it identifies the revision of the file you just downloaded.

When you download a file from Dropbox, use this callback: (If you're using the deprecated callback, you'll have to remove it from your code, or this won't be called) - (void)restClient:(DBRestClient*)client loadedFile:(NSString*)destPath contentType:(NSString*)contentType metadata:(DBMetadata*)metadata (I've already lost a little work because of this.)Īll I really need to avoid data loss is for the warning dialog to only appear if the file has actually changed remotely. In the short term, please consider adding checking for remote changes. Automatic sync would be nice, but I understand that you might not have time to implement it.
