That being said, it is an improvement because I couldn’t actually authorise with dropbox in 1.7.0 🙂 * I’m also getting a weird SSL error with the SMTP e-mail when I use a gmail account. * [WARNING] fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: SSL operation failed with code 1.

It’s already incredible. Fixing these few bugs would make it absolutely stunning.

In 1.7.2 is authenticates using clear text and 1.7.3 uses encryption, so keep this in mind if this is a concern for you. * [grafffs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafffs/) * (@grafffs) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-backwpup-dropbox-issue/#post-2013034) * Version 1.7.3 [ERROR] DropBox API: Invalid signature.
