]]> Comment on 50gb of “cloud” space with Box, automatically sync’d on XUbuntu with webdav and unison [update:Working!] by Seb http://5eb.me/50gb-of-cloud-space-with-box-automatically-syncd-on-linux-with-webdav/#comment-634 Seb Mon, 14 May 2012 17:53:04 +0000 http://5eb.me/?p=249#comment-634 Glad you found it useful :) There is a small chance that unison would clobber all your files. However, most of the time if you have a lot of items in your box folder that a unison would otherwise delete, it simply refuses to do it - so check your logs every now and again :) For example, I just umount'd my /media/box and ran unison box: Contacting server... Looking for changes Reconciling changes The root of one of the replicas has been completely emptied. Unison may delete everything in the other replica. (Set the 'confirmbigdel' preference to false to disable this check.) Aborting... So I think it's safe enough :) Glad you found it useful :)

You mention the auto (crontab) idea...what happens if your box folder isn't mounted for any reason...is there a danger that you will sync to zero?

I'm glad the article helped. I use Box but haven't tried setting up a synchronisation. Ik probably give your article a whirl and see how it behaves. Nice one. Thanks for the link to my te.
