Titanium Backup Dropbox sync questions

[oOMavrikOo]

How does the sync option actually work? Can I just delete my backups on the SD card after syncing? How do I get my backups back on the SD card from Dropbox?

It doesn't sync back down very well. If I need something from my TiBu folders on dropbox, I just pull them off using ES File Explorer. If you open ES File Explorer and swipe to the left, you can add a Dropbox account and upload/download any files. It works much better than the actual Dropbox app.

So if I want to restore a backup, do I restore all three files from Dropbox?

Yes. One is the app, one is the app's data, and I think the third is a file that TB uses to know what the file is (name, backup history, etc).

Today, after updating to 4.8.2, the Sync Dropbox button has disappeared from the main Titanium page. Anyone else experiencing this?

What's New
What's in this version:
• Tested with Google Play Store (Market 3.4.6).
• Added Dropbox section in Schedules screen, which shows the last sync time and other information.
• Improved behaviour if SD card runs out of space while making backups (manual/batch).
• Marked "System data migration" feature as stable.
• Fixed FC when running the "delete backups for un-installed apps" widget/schedule.
• Fixed possible FC in "Overview of app storage use" screen.
• Various bugfixes.
• Minor GUI improvements.
• Updated translations.

It's now in the Schedules tab, according to the update patch notes. I just downloaded the update and checked, and sure enough, it's there.

You need to enable Dropbox Sync in setting. That's what I did

Now that the dropbox sync feature has been moved to the schedule, how do you sync from Dropbox to the sd/internal storage?

I'm running the latest version of TB.

Thanks.
