Can not start Django app in Dropbox folder

I shared folder ''kpss" (I see it in Dropbox folder at "Files" tab) and named my app "kpss". But all times receive message "Your Dropbox folder can only contain folders you've shared with us". What am I doing wrong?

Ah - it looks like we are currently constrained, in that we are forcing you to use a subfolder of your dropbox shared folder...

In other words, you can have a Django project in ~/Dropbox/kpss/my_project/, but you can't have the project directly in ~/Dropbox/kpss.

That's probably a little annoying - we'll see if we can figure out a way of fixing that some day. In the meantime, you can either use a subfolder (eg ~/Dropbox/kpss/kpss), or edit your WSGI file manually using the "Existing apps and other frameworks" button...

Does that make sense?

Thank you very much, it works like you said. I do not think that is big problem, only a little misunderstanding. May be adding this tip to "start django project" window will be helpful.

Yes, I think at least a little comment or explanation in that window would be a good idea. Thanks for taking the time to write in!

Comment retracted.
