Could Dropbox detect repeated access patterns from the same process, and/or whitelist processes as known "searchers," and start returning blank files? This seems like the kind of problem only a unicorn would dare to tackle, but as luck would have it...?
- serge2k 11y agoSo search is broken in these directories? That seems like a lousy tradeoff.
- mjs7231 11y agoYou want to save space by not having data on your local system but use a local search to look in the contents of files not on that system? You can't have your cake and eat it too.
- borski 11y agoSure you can: index it once, and then stream it forevermore.
- ctoshok 11y agoexcept remote contents can change
- SturgeonsLaw 11y agoStore a hash or checksum in the index and also allow the remote API to return the hash/checksum to see if the file has changed
