dropbox full, keep uploading

[astralrick]

If your dropbox if full, home assistant will keep trying to upload your snapshots to dropbox but keep failing. Failed->try to upload->failed->try to upload (LOOP) end up using lots of your upload bandwidth without actually upload to dropbox

Good catch. Wonder how best to detect that

[astralrick]

I was scratching my head trying to find who ate up my bandwidth for uploading. Through enable/disable homeassistant add-ons. At last through my router saying "drop box".

[d0ugal]

Sorry about that! I have a unmetered connection, so wouldn’t have noticed

[astralrick]

No worries big thanks for the developing and sharing the add-ons. I do have unlimited connections but it keeps using my full upload bandwidth. Cheers

Is there a error in the logs you can share? I wonder if I can at least stop the retrying.

[astralrick]

for sure but I didn't look at the logs nor keeping it but i can make my dropbox full to find the error logs. Will do it tonight. Thanks
