He added my DropBox account to his site and now getting the login popup repeatedly. Upgraded Moodle to 2.4.3+ build 20130411, still the same situation.Ī collegue who had DropBox configured in his Moodle 2.2, a VPS running CentOS, now has the same problem. Tried both Iceweasel and Chromium on Debian Linux (same clients as last time). Once I come to Add (FilePicker) -> DropBox -> "Click login button to login" -> Pop up "The App xxxx wants to connect" -> Allow, it falls back to "Click login button to login".

Today I started the whole thing again with a fresh DropBox account. We love Dropbox so much that we actually integrated it into Rocket Matter® so that if you have a matter that you’re working on, you can associate a Dropbox folder with it, and you can instantly see all of the files inside there and the subfolders inside there and add billable time for each one of them.ĭropbox is absolutely outstanding, and if you haven’t used it then I would definitely take a look at it.I had DropBox repository configured on Moodle 2.4.3+ (20130405) closely following, including creating the app and getting those "secrets". So instead of emailing information to people, you can put something into a Dropbox folder, share it with another person, and they can take a look at it, and they can add their own documents to it, and so on and so forth. Dropbox is used to share large files with people because you can share folders. It is an absolutely phenomenal way to do things and to manage your files, and that’s not even taking into consideration the ability to share files. So if you’re on the road and you need access to a document that’s on your computer, you can get to it. It’s really amazing because it allows you to work with other people and have a completely synchronized file system.įurthermore, you can access it from your mobile devices. You can go to another computer and install Dropbox on that, and if you log in with the same credentials, your files are instantly replicated onto that other computer. You update any of your files, it automatically gets synchronizes with the cloud, and it’s instantaneous. So the files are stored both locally on your computer and in Dropbox. So the way it works is that you have an agent on your computer that synchronizes with Dropbox in the cloud.

What’s cool about it is that you can save things on your computer and access it from anywhere at any time. A transcript accompanies each video.ĭropbox is awesome.
