Hi, I waited over 12 hours for certain files directly written in Dropbox subfolders to propagate to other devices. Wondering what triggers a sync -- the timestamp? Neither the "touch" command nor a minor edit does the trick.
I did notice, however, that when the permission on a file/directory is changed from 700 to 770 sync happens. So does this mean that the file must be "regular_users" group-readable for syncing to occur?
At the individual level, a sync can be forced by restarting Dropbox -- so any commands at Pythonanywhere which will do the same?
By the way, soft-linking ("ln -s") to the Dropbox sub-folders works great. Can someone kindly confirm whether this technique avoids consuming quota. Thanks very much!
