You are correct, boxfs allows you to mount your box.net account to a folder. Which does require an internet connection. My proposition would be to create an application that allows the user to select a folder to sync across multiple devices. This application would not require a constant internet connection, rather it would allow the user to connect to the internet and automatically or manually sync the folder to their box.net account. Thanks for the input!

Re: Dropbox
 

It could be possible with Conler (connection handler) and an rsync command?

Re: Dropbox
 

The new release of Dropbox works with thumbdrives in what I can only picture as some sort of rsync (Windows only). I could be wrong about it, but it seems that if we could mount the tablet over the net onto a Windows box we could at get sync happening.

http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/#sshfs (the only free one I know about) + openssh on the tablets?

Re: Dropbox
 

SSHFS mount to do Dropbox syncing seems like an overkill to me. Why having Dropbox at all then?

Re: Dropbox
 

The beauty of dropbox to me is having the files available offline, then having them autosync when you do have an internet connection. So you have one folder on several computers that is available offline and syncs automatically once the device connects to the internet updating the folders on all the computers. So I guess you could use a script to detect an internet connection, then use sshfs and rsync. If someone writes that script, please let me know as I'm no programmer.

Re: Dropbox
 

Hi all,

Dropbox just opened an API yesterday, so I've snagged a developer account, and am beginning work on a python-based Dropbox client for Maemo. There's a garage placeholder at maebox.garage.maemo.org, but it's currently empty. I do work a 9-5, but will be putting time into this over the future. Look for progress, and of course, I'm open to suggestions!.
