 * I manage this site. ‘Discovered today that old dropbox account (set as remote
   storage) is no longer working. So I opened a new account to store the backups.
   Then in WP I selected Dropbox as the remote and got a message that I should “
   click this to deauthenticate dropbox”. So I did. And that’s when I got this error:
 * Dropbox/Curl error: Error in call to API function “auth/token/revoke”: Must provide
   HTTP header “Authorization” or URL parameter “authorization”. (Dropbox_BadRequestException)(
   line: 217, file: /home/occupyna/public_html/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/includes/
   Dropbox2/OAuth/Consumer/Curl.php)
 * This stops me dead in trying to connect Updrafts Plus to my dropbox, Please help.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcurl-error-when-deauthenticating-dropbox%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for the delay.
 * What version of UpdraftPlus are you on?
 * If you want to connect a new Dropbox account and the deauth link isn’t working
   for you, then you can do one of the following:
 * Use the link above the deauth link:
 * “After you have saved your settings (by clicking ‘Save Changes’ below), then 
   come back here once and click this link to complete authentication with Dropbox.”
 * This should then take you through the auth process
 * Or you can use the wipe settings option in the advanced tab
 * Best Wishes,
 * Ashley
