 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the report. Dropbox made an undocumented/unannounced change in their
   server’s responses, which broke UpdraftPlus’s procedure for authenticating new
   sites.
 * This is now fixed in the latest UpdraftPlus release, 1.11.9 – please update and
   try again, and you should then be able to succeed.
 * More information is available here:
