 * Error: Forbidden. This could mean a bad OAuth request, or a file or folder already
   existing at the target location.Invalid or missing signature
 * Trying to use it for the first time… what’s wrong?

 * Sounds like something went wrong in the authorization process or ones of the 
   settings in the admin is not set right. I would suggest resetting the settings
   and authorizing the plugin again.

 * No, you wouldn’t share what goes there. it should look something like **/tasmin/
   dropbox/**

 * I’m really sorry I’m having this much trouble, but I’ve tried a number of possibilities
   and still getting the same error.
 * When I am on the Dropbox website in that folder, the address is: [https://www.dropbox.com/home/PortraitEquality/Photographers](https://www.dropbox.com/home/PortraitEquality/Photographers)

 * What should go in the plugin?
 * Thank you for your help!

 * In the box labeled “Path in dropbox folder” you should put **/PortraitEquality/
   Photographers/** nothing more and in the box labeled “Temporary path on server”
   make sure it matches the default location listed below the box then save the 
   settings. Goto the page where you put the shortcode and attempt to upload a file
   then check dropbox to confirm the file was uploaded to your account.
