 * I get the error message: “Error: Cannot create temporary directory!” when I try
   to upload any file. I have reset the settings, and I’m certain that my Dropbox
   username and password are correct. The default directory is the Dropbox root.
   This error occurs when I upload from the admin panel and from a page I created
   with the [rad-dropbox] code.

 * Hi There!
 * We apologize on the delay in getting back to you on this. We have been on vacation
   for the past couple weeks.
 * This is an issue that has popped up before, what it comes down to is the uploads
   are temporarily put onto your service while being transferred to Dropbox. Some
   hosts however, do not allow document root access, which is the default location.
   This can be changed int he plugin folder under /classes.
 * We can get you the exact code line to modify, however we are not currently in
   the office.
 * Please let us know if you have sorted this issue!

 * Not sure if this is still an issue. With the most recent version 1.1.0 we have
   implemented a permanent fix for this issue!

 * Hi TheDeb!
 * You modify the temporary directory by going to the plugin folder, then “Classes”
   and opening “dropbox.class.php”.
 * Line 135:
 * $tmpDir = uniqid(”.$tmpUpload[‘path’].’/RAD-Dropbox-Uploader-‘);
 * Modify “”.$tmpUpload[‘path’].’/RAD-Dropbox-Uploader-‘”
 * Hope this helps!
