 * I am looking to send my backups to my Dropbox account. After following the Updraft
   prompt to “Save Settings” after selecting Dropbox as my remote storage location.
   I am now to the point where I am looking into my Dropbox settings, and Updraft.
   com is an allowed app- meaning there’s been acknowledgment between the two.
 * A new window appears with a button that I’m supposed to click to complete the
   process. I click it, supposedly redirected back to the my site to set-up my first
   backup. It instead has me log back into WordPress, bringing me back to the previous
   screen (Complete the process)… i click the button again and we go through the
   same thing over and over…

 * Hi,
 * Can you try to temporarily deactivate all the other plugins please? There could
   be conflict between UpdraftPlus and the plugins you are using.
 * Then attempt to re-authenticate. Do you still get the same problem?

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the reply, I think that is the problem. Is there any way find out 
   how much space the backup will need? Alternatively is there an option for creating
   the backup to a local folder on my hard drive rather than using online storage?
   Or is there a way to spread the back up over multiple online storage accounts?
 * Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
    Cameron.
