Dropbox authentication error with UpdraftPlus from Wordpress

Dropbox authentication error with UpdraftPlus from Wordpress

I have been using the Remote Storage option from within the UpdraftPlus plugin in Wordpress to keep backups on my dropbox account for several years. After moving my website to a new provider, the upload to dropbox stopped working. I checked that the connection to Dropbox is set up correctly by removing the settings for Dropbox and reauthentication. I can access and download from Dropbox old backups in the plugin without problems. But any attempt to upload files fails.

 

The following error is returned:

0020.397 (0) Dropbox: Attempt to upload: backup_2020-05-14-1059_MyWebsite_5b250aabb84c-plugins.zip to: backup_2020-05-14-1059_MyWebsite_5b250aabb84c-plugins.zip

0025.767 (0) An error condition has occurred for the first time during this job

 

It appears upload is started correctly and runs up to 100% but then does not complete or fails with some form of authentication. This problem occurs repeatedly and identically for every upload.

This was due to a server configuration issue on our side, so there isn't anything you need to do to avoid this in the future. We're working on preventing this from happening again in the future.

I am having the exact same issue with bunch of different websites running on different servers:

Any chance you can fix the problem like you did for miago?

Thanks in advance

@WS_TimmBoeken Thanks for the report! Can you print out and share the actual response headers/body (like miago did here) so we can take a closer look at what's happening in this case? Thanks in advance.

I am also having the exact same problem.  I'll check the php log and see if it has the same curl response.

Turns out Updraft had a bug, they just issued an update that fixed the issue.

Need more support?
