 * Can you include one or more of those emails?
 * The error’s most likely cause is that your entered S3 access credentials are 
   wrong.

 * Hi,
 * There’s no problem with long copy-and-pastes; the contents are meaningful to 
   me. Best to enclose them within backticks as per the note beneath the box for
   typing in your contents. Then they format more nicely.
 * _[ Moderator note: Fully agree, backticks added. ]_
 * It does email you the error every 5 minutes, up to 10 times. I’ll have to think
   how to address that; there’s one email from each time it attempts to resume the
   failed backup run, up to 10 times (after which it gives up). On the one hand,
   it’s annoying to have so many emails; on the other, people like to know when 
   something is wrong or receive the email when it eventually works. As I say, I
   will chew over what algorithm would be best to balance out that.
 * However, the error that these logs indicate is as I mentioned; your Amazon S3
   login fails. You have incorrect details (API key and API secret, and enter a 
   bucket name that either belongs to your account or does not exist at all (globally–
   i.e. no other S3 user has it)). I will consider adding a “check details” button
   to the plugin to make this easier, but in your case you just need to enter the
   right details to get it to work.

 * You’re welcome… I’ve now added a ‘Test S3 Settings’ button to the latest version,
   so that people can check their settings before running a backup (and hopefully
   find the problem with bad S3 login settings earlier).

 * i have just installed the updraft plus backup plugin and clicked the final i 
   agree button prematurely. anyway, i would like to know why you need access and
   management rights to ALL my files and spreadsheets on google drive, in order 
   for my website to be backed up? I would actually prefer not to have given you
   this permission, so will need to consider if I should revoke it once i know why
   you need access

 * Hi Kirsten,
 * Because, as far as I know, Google Drive doesn’t allow more fine-grained access.
   You can use Dropbox or Amazon S3 if you want more restrictive access, as they
   support stronger segregation.
 * However, can I point out that if the real answer was ‘because I secretly syphon
   all your data away to a foreign government’, then I would not be very likely 
   to answer honestly, so it’s rather a pointless question… 🙂

 * Hi cocomon,
 * You need to untick the box that says “Notify me of follow-up posts via email”–
   that’s not under my control to do it for others; I don’t run this forum, only
   use it like others do.
 * kirstentodd: It is considered bad netiquette to tag onto other peoples’ threads,
   instead of starting your own, because people don’t like receiving emails containing
   other peoples’ questions+answers when that happens.

 * David, very sad about the lack of donations in relation to the successful amount
   of downloads. Have you considered adding certain features to allow people to 
   upgrade for $10-$20. In my case I will always go with the upgrade for the little
   extra. I feel it covers me for the donation. Just a thought :> Great word/support.

 * 1st. Do I have to purchase the Dropbox Folder Addon for each site I have?
    2nd.
   How do I have the backup go into the Dropbox Folder I have created inside Apps-
   Updraft Plus? 3rd I want to create a folder for each site I have inside the Updraft
   Plus folder and have all the backup files for each site go to their designated
   folder. I have no idea how I can do this? Thanks in advance

 * Hi Pazzo64,
 * WordPress.Org like questions about commercial code to be asked elsewhere – so
   if you want to follow-up my answers, please email to: [contact@updraftplus.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updraft-plus/contact@updraftplus.com?output_format=md).
 * For some more information, see: [http://updraftplus.com/faqs/where-in-dropbox-are-my-files-stored/](http://updraftplus.com/faqs/where-in-dropbox-are-my-files-stored/)
 * 1. You’ll need a copy of the Dropbox Folders add-on for each site that you want
   to put the backup into a separate folder for. (On the sites that you don’t buy
   the add-on, they just go into the default folder). If you have more than a couple
   of sites, you’ll find it a better deal to buy UpdraftPlus Premium, which has 
   an unlimited deal, and includes every other add-on as well.
 * Basically, our thinking is that someone with 1 or 2 sites will be happy to either
   store their backups together, or pay $10 to buy an add-on. If they’re getting
   into 3-4 sites, then they are either a web developer or someone spending a lot
   of time in the WordPress ecosystem and they’ll be interested in UpdraftPlus Premium.
 * 2 & 3. These seem to be the same question? Anyway – this is exactly what the “
   Dropbox Folders add-on” does.

 * Thanks for your response.
    I have set up a folder: apps/UpdraftPlus/mysite1 When
   I do a backup it does not go into the designated folder it goes into the apps/
   UpdraftPlus Folder. All I’m after are instructions on how to have the backup 
   files go directly into the designated folder without me having to go in and move
   them? I should then be able to set up folders for additional sites once I buy
   more apps. I’m only looking at doing this for 4 sites.

 * Hi Pazzo64,
 * Please upload a screenshot of the Dropbox settings in your UpdraftPlus settings
   page.
