SQLBak to Dropbox backup - transport connection error
I use SQLBak to backup several MS SQL Server DBs to an internal NAS device and then copy the backups to a shared Dropbox folder for disaster recovery purposes. Seven days ago, ALL of my SQLBak backup...

Tried unlinking and relinking and got a warning message that the old version of Dropbox platform is being retired on Sept 28 2017 (stet) and the developer has yet to acknowledge the change, so this app may not continue to work in the future. I have also tried the latest version of the SQLBak agent (2.12.7). Still no luck, so I think I will refer back to SQLBak.

Finally found a solution last week. Not SQLBak-related, but a Dropbox API-related URL was being blocked by our firewall. Add the following URL to your firewall's allowed domains list:
dropbox-api.arkoselabs.com
This must have been a change affected by Dropbox, because our SQLBak replicated backups to Dropbox were working fine up to a point. I was also experiencing problems with the Dropbox Business client on a workstation. Solved when allowing the above URL.
Hope it fixes your problem.

Could you give more details about unblocking in firewall ? I created new inbound and outbound rules with the IP found pinging this URL but nothing changed .

No changes were made to inbound/outbound rules on Windows firewall. I added the URL to our perimeter SonicWall appliance's allowed domain list.
