Hi Rob Thats interesting about the files importing before they are finished copying. I struck that a few years back when copying pcm wave files into dropboxes... I assumed the network was too slow... so I assumed. I solved it by saving as 320k mp3.... and hadn't struck the problem since. I wonder if an option would be for a dropbox to wait a few mins before it started importing? Perhaps a checkbox or an ability to wait x number of minutes before it started importing?
You mentioned that you had a script that imported audio and got rid of junk files eg adobe pk files... Is it possible to see a copy of that script? it might be something I can adapt to my situation?
