Error in syncing from Dropbox

[sat_ind]

Hi,

I am a first-time CSPro user and am struggling to sync to dropbox. I have copied .PEN .PFF and .PNC file (used coding to auto-generate folders for separate UIDs - or that's what I think I've done).

This seems to be syncing and working on my phone but when I share these files via dropbox to another CSEntry android app user something seems to be going wrong and I keep getting this error.

I also have re-done the steps for Deploy Application tool, re-created .PEN and .PFF files but to no avail!

Please help!

This is the coding I've used for .PNC
(At the cost of sounding stupid, one would use notepad to make this coding and just rename the notepad to *name of file.PNC* right? Didn't quite understand what this .PNC thing was)

CSPro stopped supporting PNC files many years ago. They were replaced with either simple synchronization using the synchronization options or using the syncxxx() functions in CSPro logic. Please see this document for step by step instructions on using sync with Dropbox https://www.csprousers.org/resources/Si ... ropbox.pdf.

Note that Dropbox expects the files to always be in the folder Dropbox/CSPro/apps for deployed applications or Dropbox/CSPro/DataSync for data synchronization so if you share the folder with another Dropbox account they need to put the files in the same folder in their Dropbox. To avoid that complication most people just use a single Dropbox account that is shared by all the Android devices.

Thank you for your reply! I did as given in the PDF and have still not been able to rectify the problem.
I keep getting this pop-up error message everytime I try and sync (even from new devices). Any solutions?

Best,

You can't use text files with sync. You need to use csdb files.
