0 phhowe17 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I don't know about dropping junctions, but I have no issues with having my Dropbox folder on Win10 pool drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hsiktas Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Does your Dropbox client recognize file changes immediately when placed inside a DrivePool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Umfriend Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 AFAIK it does. However, placing DB in a DP does not solve the Junctions thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Are you using StableBit DrivePool 2.2.0.651 (the public beta) There were a couple of bugs that affects "file change notifications", which appears to specifically be the issue with DropBox. https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/14527 https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/14542 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
