This may simply be a case of changing the start-up configuration for this use case, increasing the number of retries and/or the period between retries in etc\grid\templates.xml

   <properties id="DropBox">
   ...
       <property name="omero.fs.maxRetries"  value="5"/>
       <property name="omero.fs.retryInterval"  value="3"/>

Donald, if you get a chance to test this can you let me know?

[dzmacdonald]

Works with

<properties id="DropBox">
   ...
       <property name="omero.fs.maxRetries"  value="5"/>
       <property name="omero.fs.retryInterval"  value="15"/>
