[Plugin: WordPress Backup to Dropbox] Forbidden!

    I have two sites happily backing up to Dropbox. Thanks!

    On number three, I’m getting this error:

    Exception – Forbidden. This could mean a bad OAuth request, or a file or folder already existing at the target location.

    I thought it was because I was using an account on Dropbox that already has one WordPress backup, but I’ve changed the folder name and it starts a folder in Dropbox. The error comes less than 30 sec after the backup starts. Any ideas?

    There are a few things that can cause this, one of which is Dropbox getting confused about where to place the file to be uploaded.

    In the past this has been caused by file names with non ASCII characters or spaces however I have made changes to resolve this issue.

    Do you have any files with odd characters?
