User Test Instructions

Syncd is a program to sync folders between different places based on rules. For instance, you may have a rule to connect a local Documents folder with a Docs folder in Dropbox. This works much like the official Dropbox or Google Drive clients.

• First, open a file manager to home and create a folder called usertest

• Now, in a terminal, run the following commands:

      syncd-add -h
      syncd-add file://$HOME/usertest dropbox:///usertest
      syncd
  

• You should get a browser prompt for access; allow it. You will at this point get an authentication string; copy-paste it into the terminal window and hit .

• Now open the usertest directory in your home folder. Try to create a folder, then make a text file in that folder (names don't matter).

• Open Dropbox in a new tab

• Open the usertest folder in Dropbox

• At this point you should see the subfolder you added, and its contents

• Try uploading a file through Dropbox's web interface to this folder

• Switch to the file manager; your uploaded file should show up in the local folder

Feel free to play around with the files to watch the synchronization taking place. #####NOTE! Some features are not working yet, so don't worry too much if something doesn't work.
