hello awesome people
i am trying to backup to dropbox , got my api creds and followed this custom backup dropbox
once validating i am receiving this error :

Validation for transport “dropbox” failed: Could not upload test file: 2022-02-07T23:42:10 [WebService::Dropbox] [ERROR] https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload {"mode":"overwrite","path":"/validate.tmp-32580-1644273729.txt"} -> [401] {"error_summary": "missing_scope/..", "error": {".tag": "missing_scope", "required_scope": "files.content.write"}} at /usr/local/share/perl5/WebService/Dropbox.pm line 184.

looks like dropbox keeps rotating their access token
this is the second error

Error: Validation for transport “dropbox” failed: Could not upload test file: 2022-02-08T08:36:24 [WebService::Dropbox] [ERROR] https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload {"mode":"overwrite","path":"/validate.tmp-29368-1644305782.txt"} -> [401] {"error_summary": "expired_access_token/.", "error": {".tag": "expired_access_token"}} at /usr/local/share/perl5/WebService/Dropbox.pm line 184.

Hey there! The documentation page you linked is a bit old as that references our older system from 2018. We have a newer page here:

How to Create a Custom Transport Script for Backups | cPanel & WHM Documentation

The Backup Configuration feature allows users to create a Custom Destination for their backups.

docs.cpanel.net

I'm not 100% certain on the differences, but could you review that and see if anything in the new page helps? There are example scripts in the new documentation as well.

move to plesk, cheaper, better, lighter and works like a charm.
Plus, if you have issues and need support they can do everything for you instead of the stupid copy paste message of cpanel "find a system admin:
total dissapointment from cPanel, only increasing prices
