The path option in the Dropbox backup is somewhat cryptic (no help text, etc.). I treated it like a UNIX path, and stuck a / on there. Which results in a failure with an error page that just says:
Error:
With no explanation. Doesn't matter if the slash is on the front or the back...it'll trigger this error. Removing the slash and just using the name of the folder within Dropbox resolved the problem. I haven't experimented with nested folders or anything else tricky, yet.
This is one of many areas that would be well-served by some popup help. I'll spend some time writing a bunch of new help texts this week, including this one...we've got a lot of uncovered territory in Virtualmin and Cloudmin. It's becoming pretty dire; I fear I may be eaten by a grue. ;-)

Looks like I messed up the error message - it is supposed to say that a / at the start of the path isn't allowed. I'll fix this in the next version.
