[SOLVED] tis Dropbox package question

Hello,

I'm deploying Dropbox with Wapt and I've noticed that startup is disabled in the Python code, which prevents local documents from syncing unless the user launches Dropbox themselves.

I'd like to know why this startup feature has been disabled.

Thanks in advance,

Eliott.

Hello,
These mechanisms were implemented to limit the application's intrusiveness, but they are excessive when the user needs the application daily. Therefore, I am informing you that we have restored the application's default behavior.
Here are the changes made to the package:

157.4.4801-25

Putting Dropbox Service back to auto-start (use disable_autostart_dropbox_service to avoid it)
Dropbox now starts with Windows since it is the default behavior (use disable_autostart_dropbox to avoid it)
No longer kills the app in install(), so it will probably run pop-up on install/update.
The x64 binary has been tested, but it remains an x86 app.


Best regards,
Jimmy

Eliottiph,
you're welcome, it's also nice to get feedback on tools we don't use. ;)
The package can be downloaded here, or will be available in 5 days on the Store.
