I have been shared my file via Dropbox with dropbox@pythonanywhere.com but it is not synched. Any suggestion ?

Dropbox is no longer supported I'm afraid.

I'm curious, where did you find the instructions to do the sharing?

There was a file called Dropbox on my directory and inside the folder there is an README.txt file which explains how to share files. Here is the text: """ Dropbox and PythonAnywhere ==========================

How to sync folders between PythonAnywhere and your Dropbox

You need to share dropbox folders with our dropbox account.

First, make sure we know what email address you use for dropbox - if this isn't the same as the email address you used to sign up with PythonAnywhere, we can't guess who you are when the sharing invite arrives in our inbox.

You'll find a link to modify your email address in the Files menu, at the top of your screen.

Then, go to the Dropbox site and share a folder with dropbox@pythonanywhere.com

https://www.dropbox.com/share

You'll see the shared folder appear inside ~/Dropbox within a few minutes.

From that point on, any changes you make to that folder will be automatically synced back to your Dropbox and vice-versa, just like the Dropbox folder on your PC. """"

Aha! I think we'd totally forgotten about that one. Thanks very much!
