This was one of the best plugins to backup your wordpress installations to dropbox
without any restrictions. It was great while it worked. After dropbox changed their
api, the plugin stopped working. Hopefully someone will resurrect this plugin for
the new dropbox plugin.

Dropbox has changed their API service, reading the support topics conclusion is 
that this plugin is not going to update to the API 2. So it has become worthless.
Pity, it used to be great!

getting.

If you have a website that’s 40GB, and you have to move it from a hard disk that’s
50GB, this plugin will do it- in a smart and slow way(no timeouts, just chilling)
😀
