DropBox sync errors -1001, 404

andrewscott

I've purchased a set up 1Password 4 for myself and three family members in the last week. Using DropBox sync has been problematic for two out of four of these setups.



On my iPad and iPhone 5 DropBox sync proceeds very slowly and often ends with an alert symbol over the DropBox icon. Usually tapping on this reveals nothing but at other times it reports the error message:



[quote]The operation couldn't be completed (NSURLErrorDomain error -1001.)[/quote]



Sometimes the error message on the iPad is:



[quote]

[b]Failed to list data folder in Dropbox[/b]

The operation couldn't be completed. (dropbox.com error 404.)

[/quote]





Meanwhile iCloud sync proceeds quickly and, apparently, repeatedly. I'm not sure how valuable iCloud sync is in this instance since I assume it's not connected with 1Password 3.9.6 on my Mac which makes no reference to iCloud.



I've tried switching DropBox off and on again (initiating the usual DropBox approval screen each time) on both devices with no useful result. I've also rebuilt the data file on my Mac for good measure.



What should I try next?

I'm having the exact same issue. Dropbox sync is extremely slow and often results in the following error: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The operation couldn't be completed (NSURLErrorDomain error -1001.)[/size][/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]The above solutions don't help. Any ideas?[/size][/font][/color]

Hi guys,



The NSURLErrorDomain error usually means a network issue. Please try rebooting your iOS devices to restart the networking system and see if it'll help.



Thanks!

I get different error codes:



1) On iPad (w/o cel), when it is NOT connected to Wifi:



[CODE]

Failed to list data folder in Dropbox

The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1009.)

[/CODE]



Seems that 1PW should catch it before trying to call dropbox service,



2)

[CODE]

The operation couldn’t be completed. (dropbox.com error 461.)

[/CODE]

(When I do have WiFi connection). This is probably the 'real' problem. (and I get an error on iPHone, trying to access the same keychain on dropbox). [I don't have the code in front of me.)



The keychain is very small. In the Sync Logs it shows "Items: 21, Folders: 4.

In the Landscape mode of the main 'categories' scree: All items: 19



I don't have such problems with another iPhone with over 3,200 entries (beside perhaps taking long time)



BTW: Sync History (all) lists several entries:



[CODE]

23 minutes ago

...

...

55 minutes ago

20 hours ago

21 hours ago

yesterday

43 years ago <--- huh?????

yesterday

yesterday <-- this is when I installed 1PW

[/CODE]

You're right, it would be better if 1Password alerted you to the network problem explicitly. Currently we use the same UX for all error codes, which leaves the user wondering if it is a "real" dropbox issue or a simple network issue.

Interesting. Error code 461 means "Unsupported transport". I haven't seen this error before. Could you go to the Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting > Email Diagnostic and view the logs? This error and others like it should be listed in the logs. It's probably easiest if you just email the logs so we can see it and reference this thread so we can connect the dots.

43 years ago is 1970, which is the unix epoch. We count the number of seconds since this date and somehow the sync history table managed to get an entry with a very small timestamp, likely zero. I'm not sure how that entry got into the logs table, but that's likely what happened. Maybe I'll see something in the logs that can explain this.
