As of 17.10.19, Powercode’s backups integration for Dropbox has been updated and may require you to authorize your account again for your backups to Dropbox to continue functioning. Below is a quick guide focusing on how to reauthorize your Dropbox account for Powercode to push the backup files to. If you are not using Dropbox, you can ignore this post.
On a side note, we will be providing Amazon S3 as a backup destination option within the next couple weeks.
