How to create workflow to pause and resum dropbox sync?

[Zavien Ng]

Hello, 

 

Just purchased powerpack license and was wondering how to create workflow with keywords to pause and resume dropbox syncing?

The first question is whether it's possible to pause and resume Dropbox syncing programatically. AFAIK, it isn't.

 

I think your only option is to kill the Dropbox app and restart it.

 

Kill: killall Dropbox

Restart: open -a Dropbox

 

Put each of those commands in a Run Script action with Language = /bin/bash, then connect them to Keyword triggers.

Hey Deanishe,

 

Thanks! Works like charm. I've also attached some icons that I created for the workflow!
