Dropbox Targets in Data Synchronization Tasks

When you run a Data Synchronization task, specify the operation and the source that you want the Secure Agent to write to the target. The Secure Agent inserts, updates, upserts, or deletes source rows that you specify into the target based on the configured operation for the target object.

The task operations depend on the target object that you select. You can configure the target properties when you schedule the Data Synchronization task.

The advanced target properties appear on the Schedule page of the Data Synchronization Task wizard.

The following table describes the Dropbox advanced target properties:

Advanced Target Property	Description
Success File Directory	Specifies the path and directory name where you want to save the files.
Error File Directory	Specifies the path and directory name where you want to save the error files.
