Dropbox API key problem
I am using software which can use the Dropbox API to make automatic backups.
The issue is that the API key generated for this app starts with a - sign. The software doesn't like that there is a - sign at the start.
I can't seem to find any option to generate a new API key for this app.

It sounds like you're referring to the "access token". You can get a new access token by processing the app authorization flow again. Doing so would produce a new access token, though I can't guarantee if it would or wouldn't also start with a "-".
You should initiate the app authorization flow however you did originally. Generally, that should be initiated from within the third party app. If you need help with that, you'll need to contact the developer of the third party app in question.
