Dropbox StaffThanks for following up. Unfortunately in this particular case this doesn't appear to be sufficient for me to investigate. Can you please open a ticket here from the affected account, and also let us know the relevant app name, so we can look into this internally? Thanks and apologies for the bother.
I use FastPanel to host sites and create site backups. I created a help ticket, thanks.
