Dropbox – The request to link the app is invalid.

[GaryParticipant]

Hi, I’m sure you have been asked this many times before, but I cannot see an answer on the forum.

I have the developer version of updraft plus, backing up to Dropbox.

The first site I have backed up from, backs up fine with no problems.

I have installed the plugin on a second site, and authenticated to the same dropbox account, but then get the message The request to link the app is invalid.

What do I need to do to overcome this so that I can back up multiple sites to the same Dropbox apps folder

Thanks

Hi Gary,

There’s nothing special needing to be done to link multiple sites with the same Dropbox.

If you’re seeing that message, it’s just Dropbox playing up. Go into the ‘Expert / Debugging’ tab, and use the ‘Wipe Settings’ button to delete all UpdraftPlus’s settings; and then try authenticating again. There’s nothing else you can do from your end. If it keeps happening, you’ll have to contact Dropbox support to see if there’s some specific problem on your Dropbox account.

Best wishes,
David
