# Error: Error: (401) Unauthorized

 * I am getting this message on the front end “Error: Error: (401) Unauthorized.”
   It’s not working at all. I have authorized and and confirmed the Dropbox account
   in the backend. Help please!?
 * I tried to change the authorization type from CURL in the backend to see if that
   would help. In that case I get the following in my error log:
    PHP Fatal error:
   Call to a member function setToken() on a non-object in /home1/africao9/public_html/…/
   wp-content/plugins/simple-dropbox-upload-form/wp-dropbox.php on line 318

 * This is due to a conflict with another plugin. Likely Backup to Dropbox.

 * Hi
    I have the same issue, I really had backup plugin installed connected to 
   Dropbox but I removed plugin, reseted your plugin settings, made authorization
   again. But issue still exists. Here is active plugin list [http://prntscr.com/468lgd](http://prntscr.com/468lgd)

 * Getting Error: (401) Unauthorized as well. Have disabled all other plugins but
   with no change. Can see the files uploaded to my wordpress but not to dropbox.
   Have tried curl, phpauth and so on, reset the whole thing and auth again. Still
   nothing. Any suggestions?

 * Seems that the problem was with me having an ä in the folder name. Changed it
   now and it worked. May be something to add in documentation or so.
