# [Plugin: BackWPup] Cannot Authenticate with Dropbox

 * Everything is working well with this plugin. However, I cannot get it to authenticate
   with dropbox.
 * Pressing the button takes you to dropbox where it asks you to confirm, then when
   you confirm, you are bounced back to WordPress to another plugin’s options (Google
   Analytics)???
 * Even after authentication with dropbox, and being taken back to wordpress, the
   dropbox field still says not authenticated.
 * Is there a conflict going on here?

 * Workaround:
    – deactivate Google Analytics – Authenticate with Dropbox – activate
   Google Analytics
 * I will check is it a Problem on my Plugin or Google Analytics….

 * Your workaround worked perfectly, and the back-up made it to dropbox! Excellent.

 * The Problem is taht Google Analytics Plugin catches all oauth auth. requests 
   and not only the rquests for that plugin. I will inform the Author.

 * Good to know. I believe the author is Joost, or [@yoast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yoast/)
   on Twitter.
