[Plugin: WordPress Backup to Dropbox] Plugin backing up to both default and custom folder

  • I reinstalled the plugin since the latest update. However it’s behaving a little weird. I changed the default DropBox folder to a custom folder in my account and saved the settings. When the backup runs it copies the files to the default one (WordPressBackup) and also to the folder i configured.

    I have DropBox installed in my computer and even tough i’ve excluded the backup folders so they don’t appear locally, the icon on the taskbar starts spinning and it says it’s syncing files but it doesn’t add any new files at all.

    Thank you.

    I was doing some tests and the second problem seems to be something about DropBox itself, i don’t know if it’s a bug. I hope it is, because otherwise it just bugs me.

    If i change a file in one computer it notifies only the ones who have that file synced too (expected behavior). But if i modify a file through the dropbox website, it notifies every computer no matter if they have that file synced.

    It could be useful to notice if something is changing your files, that way i could know if someone else is messing with my account. But in this case it can get a little annoying since i don’t want my taskbar icon to be blinking for every single file being copied when the backup is being made.

    That’s why my taskbar icon was blinking because the plugin modifies the files through the web API and it fires this “feature” of the DropBox application.
