Deleting my Dropbox authentication and authenticating again solved the problem. * [7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) * (@7thcircle) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11520964) * Does it work if we do it for one job, or do we have to do each job? * Thread Starter [mll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mll/) * (@mll) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11522410) * You have to do this for each job * [7thcircle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/7thcircle/) * (@7thcircle) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11522886) * Thanks, that worked * [Eduardo Pintor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elshamah/) * (@elshamah) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11525724) * Hi. I did the instructions, but Dropbox returns: ‘This app is currently disabled.’ * [ZeroGravity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zerogravity/) * (@zerogravity) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11527304) * This is extremely irritating. I have setup backups for many clients going to their own dropbox accounts. I don’t have their login credentials, nor do I want them. I setup the authentication when sitting with. * Now I have to go back to each and every one to reconfigure the backups. * I don’t think this has been thought through very well at all! * I also read that * > Note: The Dropbox backup folder changed from BackWPup to InpsydeBackWPup. * Will existing backups be copied to the new folder and the old folder deleted or is that something we are going to need to do manually? * [409industries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/409industries/) * (@409industries) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11530636) * Glad i found this thread, i was wondering why all my backups were failing. * I get to go back through 40+ WP dashboards and re-link all my Dropbox connections. D’oh * While beggars can’t be choosers (I am very pleased with BackWPup’s free tier), it is an annoyance that the default upload path has been changed to InpsydeBackWPup. * [schmalzschnitte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmalzschnitte/) * (@schmalzschnitte) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11549642) * “security precaution of Dropbox” sounds like Dropbox initiated this. * Just one remark: for me 3.6.8 had this problem as well. * [happyAnt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duongcuong96/) * (@duongcuong96) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11550871) * [@schmalzschnitte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schmalzschnitte/) [@409industries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/409industries/) you will need to update to 3.6.9 in order successfully re-authenticate Dropbox. Sorry for any inconvenience, but we ** are forced to do this** by Dropbox team in about 72 hours, if we don’t take any action within that time, BackWPUp will not able backup to Dropbox forever 🙁 So it really rushes for both us and all of our users too 🙁 * [kraeMit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kraemit/) * (@kraemit) * [7 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropbox-api-400-bad-input-parameter/#post-11551884) * Thanks [@christina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christina/)! * I don’t understand about this critics from some users. It is a tiny step, security realated, I’m happy about this continously development (!!), it was written as a very clear message in your WP!, all is easy going not worth to talk about. So what? * All the best.
