 * Hi-
    on WP 3.8.1, UD+ 1.8.5.13, Dropbox seems to be troublesome and won’t take
   the upload (responded with unexpected reply, or similar). I did wipe settings
   and re-authenticated before trying this latest time, but still got error. Can
   you take a look and see if I’ve missed anything? THanks! rickvv [http://pastebin.com/Q4VGmVGX](http://pastebin.com/Q4VGmVGX)(

 * Hi Rick,
 * Please file requests in future at updraftplus.com – the wordpress.org rules don’t
   allow these forums to be used for commercial products.
 * However, since Dropbox is part of the free plugin, I think I can answer this 
   one here and it may help others. The log appears to indicate no connectivity 
   to dropbox.com. You should just try again (in case it was transient); and if 
   the same happens, ask your web hosting company whether or not there is a firewall
   that disallows outgoing connections (and if there is, request them to unblock
   it).
 * Best wishes,
    David

 * P.S. Having read the forums of some other backup plugins, it seems that Dropbox
   is playing up a lot in the last week or so, so it might just be that.

 * I have got similar problem with my DB.
 * The log says:
    Parameter not found: oauth_token – need to reauthenticate this
   site with Dropbox (if this fails, then you can also try wiping your settings 
   from the Expert Settings section)
 * It creates an “apps” folder in DB but doesn’t start the backup process.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!
