[ome-users] OMERO.fs question

[Christophe TREFOIS]

Hi,

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.

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.

How can I solve this issue?

Best,

You can choose:

As you might expect, OMERO cannot find the pixels anymore. But metadata in the DB is unaffected.

There are umpteen ways to do it. The default recommended way in the docs is to use Unix users; see:

Dear all,

We are looking into using OMERO.dropbox for automatic import of images into OMERO.

Does the Dropbox move images to the omero.data.dir location or do the images stay in the dropbox folder?
What happens if an image is renamed, or deleted by the user on the file system? How do you manage user access to each folder? Using Samba? One single account?

It would be great if some people could share their experience and perhaps setups regarding this.

Thank you for your help,
