Need help to sync/ backup the working folder of an app LinkedHelper2

Hello!

 

Currently experiencing issues to sync a working folder of LinkedHelper2 on Mac, since an error comes up: “Couldn't upload. Give Dropbox permission to access this file.” After I click on “Go to file”, I can setup nothing besides to see the file, or “How to fix” - then an article opens: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/files-not-syncing#permission

 

This articles gives no clue what the problem is.

 

 

Here is info about which folders of the app LinkedHelper2 has to be synced:

“Data is stored here: %AppData%\linked-helper\Partitions\linked-helper-launcher

There you will find folders named "main". Example: linked-helper-account-143682-main
Where number is the number of your LI instance. If you have several instances, then there will be several such folders
Inside them, there is a file LH.DB - this is a database. Enough to back it up.”

Could you please help me with it?

 

Thanks in advance!

Best,
T

    Hi crretee, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Just for clarification, you're using a Mac, but the information you've provided seems to refer to a Windows installation (namely the %AppData% location), could you explain this for me? Are you using a virtual machine?

     

    How exactly are you adding this location into the Dropbox folder?

     

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

      Hi Jay,

       

      Thanks for your question. 

      True, I work on a Windows Server 2022, sorry - my mistake. But the screenshot with an error is coming from Windows too.

       

      I add the location by going to Backup - then choose only this one folder, then get it synced via Dropbox Backup beta

       

      Any ideas?

       

      Best,

      T

        The Backup feature should only allow you to backup the Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders, or external drives. 

         

        Where exactly do the folders with the error reside on your machine?
