Detect if a path is inside a Dropbox-backed folder

Source: R/is_dropbox_path.R
is_dropbox_path.Rd

This helper function checks whether a given file or directory path appears to be located inside a Dropbox-synced folder. It is used to warn users about potential file-locking issues when running BEAST2 from Dropbox-backed locations.

Usage

is_dropbox_path(path)

Arguments

path

A character string representing a file or directory path.

Value

TRUE if the path appears to be in a Dropbox folder, FALSE otherwise.

Details

The detection is based on simple case-insensitive string matching and is intended as a best-effort heuristic rather than a guarantee.

Examples

is_dropbox_path("~/Dropbox/myproject")
#> [1] TRUE
is_dropbox_path("/tmp/myproject")
#> [1] FALSE
