Hi there @GamePadToaster, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you have a look at your backups page and let me know if you're able to delete your backups from there to free up some space on your account?

 

Keep us posted!

Thanks for posting this question, I had the same issue like yours and I found the root cause.

 

@Walter: Thanks for sharing the Back up page, however, I would suggest Dropbox to make this option more visible to users like us. It took me a week to find this simple solution, which does not make sense to me at all.

Need more support?
