Failed to save scheduled backup : Dropbox path cannot start or end with a slash

Hey

I have just updated to Pro version so I can make use of the Backup to Dropbox service.

I have set up and authorized the Dropbox API to my dropbox account.

However when setting up the scheduled backup, it reports:

Failed to save scheduled backup : Dropbox path cannot start or end with a slash

However, there are no slashes in the path I have entered.

I have also tested it with slashes at end, start, both, and the same error occurs.

Thinking the folder needs to already exist, I have created a folder in my Dropbox "Test" (within "Apps") and set the Dropbox path to 'Test' but the same error message pops up.

Any advise, most appreciated, as this is the reason I upgraded to Pro...

Thanks Rob

EDIT:

I exited and went back to the manage backup page, and when I selected backup to... Dropbox... the folder path dialog changed from a path picker to read:

Dropbox Path: [....]

Which it didn't do first time; thus probably causing the issue.

May have been due to temporary JS problem making the switch.

Works now anyway. Ta

Ah, that's an unusual issue!

I'm glad it's working now though.

So just to verify -- you are able to upload your backups to Dropbox now?

Yes, correct, I am able to upload to Dropbox now. Thanks
