<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the feedback. I read that it doesn't work on network mounts to auto-remove the data from Dropbox. Also Dropbox feature itself does not work on network share.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is quite upsetting as we will many TBs of data and usually the local attached disks are not that big, especially in the context of a VM.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How can I solve this issue?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,<br>
<br>
</div>

<div>
<div>> Does the Dropbox move images to the omero.data.dir location </div>
<div>> or do the images stay in the dropbox folder? </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can choose: </div>

<div>
<div>> What happens if an image is renamed, or deleted by the user on the </div>
<div>> file system? </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you might expect, OMERO cannot find the pixels anymore. But metadata in the DB is unaffected.

</div>
<div>
<div>> How do you manage user access to each folder? Using Samba? </div>
<div>> One single account? </div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are umpteen ways to do it. The default recommended way in the docs is to use Unix users; see:
