Titanium Backup Drobox Sync Fail

---

I have the Titanium Backup pro running on my Prime. When I try to do a dropbox sync, it fails about 1/3 way. I've re-tried a few times, with no luck. Anyone get it to work on the Prime? My theory is that since the Dropbox android client can only upload a max file size of around 170 MB, a big backup file is the root of the sync failure. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to tell on what file the dropbox sync fails.

Given my theory, I followed the Titanium Wiki and tried to use labels. I downloaded "apps organizer" and labelled a bunch of apps. When I go into Titanium and try to modify the Dropbox settings, the only option is to uncheck synch everything. I cannot figure out how to set a label for dropbox sync. Any ideas?

Finally, I wanted to submit some sort of bug report to titanium on this subject, but I have not found a link to do so. Does anyone have a link or email address to submit bugs to Titanium?

Thanks!

I had the same problem but just kept re-syncing. It picked up from where it left off the last time.

I don't know how many times you tried but it took me 5 or 6 to finally get it all.

I did try again a few times and it would get a bit further. But now its stuck on ~1.3 GB left and it seems like it doesn't even attempt to upload as the screen flickers right away and says Dropbox syn failed.

Anyone find out any news on how to tell what failed? I'm having issues uploading to both Dropbox and Box with an upload failing eventually. Happens to both my Transformer Prime and my Evo3D

Didn't work for me either. I tried both Dropbox and Box. Both were taking way too long.

having this problem too. i rub sync with dropbox in titanium but at same point the sync stops and error appe ars. frickin annoying. i'm on shared wlan with familije amd we have crappy upload do i want to backup cca 700 mb but it never finishes the sync. i'm frustrated with this :(

Same problem here, I just never even get an error message until I force it to stop. Otherwise it will sit there indefinitely at the same percentage.

I've deleted and changed the Dropbox folders for TiBu several times, and it gets stuck in the same place every time. Making current backups and I'll be trying to u/l to Dropbox again (this being a more fresh install), I'll likely also try it out on my phone to see how it works. I never was really interested in it until the Prime and the fact that the internal SD card just has to get formatted by manual updates and factory resets.

I had this issue before too, I found out that the problem is when one of the backup files is bigger than 180ish MB.

the solution I found was to let this file out of the TI Backup I keep on Dropbox.

You can do this by using one of the TI Backup options that let you see the size of your back ups, then just organize it by size and voila, you can easly find the culprit.

Now for the label thing, you could make a label with those files and another label for everything else and that way keep those files away from screwing with Dropbox sync.

The way to actually make these labels is using the label option WITHIN Titanium, not 3rd Apps

Where did you find this option? I cannot find the size of the backups..

I've just setup to go to google drive to see if that will work instead.

I have exactly the same problem so I 'solved' it with your lable idea. (I think - this is a very difficult place to mess around with!)

However, when a new app is installed it won't be in the label, right?
So, every new app will not be synchronised with Dropbox!

I wonder whose fault this is:
- Titanium cannot create/manipulate larger files synchronisation
- Dropbox refuses larger files (though it works from my PC!)
- Dropbox has only given Titanium the rights for files up to appr.180Mb
