Good evening,
a few days ago, the Dropbox backup feature stopped working both on iphone and ipad. I cannot save or restore backups from dropbox any more.
What happens: When I go to the "Global Setup" menu, and hit "Save backup to Dropbox" or "Load backup from Dropbox", I get an error message: "The backup could not be saved in your Dropbox". This happens to my installation on iPhone (11) as well as on iPad (recent iPad air).
I did update the backup file from an older version (few weeks old) before this problem appeared, but I have done this many times before without any problems because I run iMIDIPatchbay both on iphone and ipad and sync these via the backup file.
I already tried the following , all without any success:
- Reinstall iMIDIPatchbay and restart ipad
- empty the Dropbox app folder for iMIDIPatchbay
- Delete the Dropbox app folder completely
- Remove iMIDIPatchbay from the list of accepted apps on the Dropbox account (in the hope it would ask me again to re-link Dropbox)
- Reinstall Dropbox on the ipad
Finally I did the following:
- uninstall both iMIDIPAtchbay AND Dropbox
- Create a completely new, empty dropbox account (using a previously unused email account)
- restart ipad
- install iMIDIPatchbay from scatch
- install Dropbox from Scratch, using the fresh and empty Dropbox account
So, the only thing that is still the same is my device and my icloud account - everything else has been reset to fresh.
Any ideas? Could it be that there is a cached setting in iCloud that makes the problem?
I am really lost.

Hello Johannes,
the TestFlight version did not change the problem, I sent you a replythrough TestFlight a while ago.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to this. I am happy to help testing, and hope to get this resolved!

This is the same problem I'm having. I sent a few posts, but no solutions. I have gone through similar steps to what is described here, but cannot re-establish a connection between the imidi patchbay app and Dropbox. Was this solved?
