Title: Dropbox Error Last modified: September 30, 2017 --- # Dropbox Error * Resolved [Easton Bavents](https://wordpress.org/support/users/microbe/) * (@microbe) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/) * Hi * I am using Dropbox for remote storage. Since yesterday I have been receiving emails with the message: * HTTP status 400 {“error”: “v1_retired”} * I checked at Dropbox, and their API v1 was retired on Thursday, September 28th, 2017. However, my apps were all recently created, so should all be on v2. To test, I removved an App and replaced it with a new one. * On testing (XCloner – verify settings) I get: * Dropbox connection error: HTTP status 400 {“error”: “v1_retired”} * Does the plugin need updating to use Dropbox v2? * Thanks for all your work on this great plugin. * Tim Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/page/2/?output_format=md) * [TATASAM.PL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tatasam/) * (@tatasam) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9545506) * First Thanks for all your work on this great plugin. * Any chance to upgrade to dropbox api v2 ? * Maybe donation encourage ? * Thanks in advance * TATASAM.PL * [XCloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/) * (@xcloner) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9546674) * Are you using this plugin to access the xcloner google drive option [https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-google-drive/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-google-drive/)? If not, you might need to upgrade XCloner or reinstall it with the latest version and install the dedicated google drive plugin. It is using actually version 3 of the google drive api so you should have no problems with it, but please let us know if you still have issues. * [TATASAM.PL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tatasam/) * (@tatasam) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9547026) * [@xcloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/) * I’m a little bit confused, topic is regarding dropbox not google. * [https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2016/06/api-v1-deprecated/](https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2016/06/api-v1-deprecated/) * [https://murze.be/2017/04/dropbox-will-turn-off-v1-of-their-api-soon-its-time-to-update-your-php-application/](https://murze.be/2017/04/dropbox-will-turn-off-v1-of-their-api-soon-its-time-to-update-your-php-application/) - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [TATASAM.PL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tatasam/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [TATASAM.PL](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tatasam/). * [XCloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/) * (@xcloner) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9547384) * My bad, i was reading through the lines, I am looking into a possible upgrade soon. * [XCloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/) * (@xcloner) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9547418) * I have posted an updated package in the Development version [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore.zip) which updates the Dropbox Api to use V2, from my tests it seems to run fine, so please test it and let me know if you have further issues * Thread Starter [Easton Bavents](https://wordpress.org/support/users/microbe/) * (@microbe) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9547629) * Thanks Liuta. * I will test now. * Tim * Thread Starter [Easton Bavents](https://wordpress.org/support/users/microbe/) * (@microbe) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9547650) * Hi * That looks to be working.

Running large backups is generating a different error: * 413 Request Entity Too Large * I have tried running a manual upload of a 4GB backup to Dropbox, this returned: * Uploading backup to the selected remote storage… Client error: `POST https:// content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload` resulted in a `413 Request Entity Too Large` response: Dropbox – 4xx</t (truncated…) * The csv file is uploaded, but the two tar files are not. * Also, WordPress server information says: PHP Upload Max Filesize = 1536M. However, this limit was not stopping 2GB file uploads before the API change. * Tim - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [Easton Bavents](https://wordpress.org/support/users/microbe/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [Easton Bavents](https://wordpress.org/support/users/microbe/). * [Dave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miner/) * (@miner) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9552894) * I have upgraded plugin to Version 4.0.5 and some of my sites work sending to dropbox again BUT one site with a slightly larger backup (384 MB) is getting the Error: * Uploading backup to the selected remote storage… Client error: `POST https:// content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload` resulted in a `413 Request Entity Too Large` response: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head><meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″> <title>Dropbox – 4xx</t (truncated…) * any ideas as to what this is? * Thanks, * Dave * [XCloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/) * (@xcloner) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9554175) * I have posted a fix in the latest 4.0.5 package, so please try and reinstall that and let me know if you still have issues. * Thread Starter [Easton Bavents](https://wordpress.org/support/users/microbe/) * (@microbe) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/#post-9554588) * Hi * I deactivated and deleted the plugin then reinstalled from the repository and reactivated it. * Now when I try to upload I get a server error: * [04-Oct-2017 08:25:43 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in /****/****/ public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/vendor/srmklive/ flysystem-dropbox-v2/src/Client/DropboxClient.php on line 441 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Dropbox Error’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/xcloner-backup-and-restore/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2766426) * [Backup, Restore and Migrate your sites with XCloner](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/xcloner-backup-and-restore/reviews/) * 19 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [XCloner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xcloner/) * Last activity: [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-error-4/page/2/#post-9556459) * Status: resolved
