Brother Printer Integration stopped working May 1st, 2024

Brother Printer Integration stopped working May 1st, 2024

I have 4 Brother Printers.    3 - MFC - L2750DW   and  1 - MFC - L2740DW  that as of May 1st receive an error when uploading scanned documents to the assigned dropbox folder.   I have created new credentials and everything worked, including picking the dropbox folder.  But still fails at upload.

This worked flawlessly for the past 3 years.   The last time this happened was 2021.

I see another post regarding similar issue happening with Epson printers as well.   It appears the  certificate / token that dropbox issued for this service has expired.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Any work arounds?

This seems like just too much of a coincidence…

Just received in my email from Dropbox


Hello,

We’re reaching out because on April 24th, we became aware of unauthorized access to the Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) production environment. Upon further investigation, we discovered that a threat actor had accessed Dropbox Sign customer information. You are receiving this message because your information was in the data the third party accessed.

It is a Dropbox issue related to the recent hack. They shut off integrations I think and haven't updated all the third party companies. We're all down.

 Same issue here with a brother ads-1500W.

Yes, I am discovering the same issue with my MFC-L2740DW. Still this issue has not been resolved.

There may be hope.  They are reporting on the Epson thread that the issue has been resolved for them. 

Unfortunately I just tested and still getting the Server Error 5 on the L2740DW

Brother just acknowledged my support ticket from Monday.  I tried calling last week but didn't get anywhere.  I also directed them to this thread for more detail.

I think I am having this same problem. Used to be able to scan directly from my MFC-J5320DW directly to a folder in Dropbox-folder. This was very handsome, but now I get "Server error 05". 

 

Is google drive or any other web-services still good and up running?

Brother likely needs to resolve this from their end. The same thing happened with Epson devices at the same time, and Epson had to make changes on their side to resolve it.

 

I'd suggest reaching out to Brother, like the user above did, and let them know you're having a problem with the Dropbox integration. The more reports they receive, the faster they're likely to investigate the issue.

I agree with you.
Now I'm configuring everything to work with GOOGLE DRIVE as it works fine.
Sorry DROPBOX. I'm gone.

Need more support?
