I am using dropbox backup integration with no problems, but what it is backing up is the database and files, but not private files folder, while it is urgent to backup private files folder i cannot do it with dropbox, any suggestions how to enable it with dropbox?
Thank you
Dropbox connector should backup your db file, public folder as well as private folder. Do you see any error logs?

OutgoingEmailError: Please setup default Email Account from Setup > Email > Email Account
this is the error i found, hope it would help
“OutgoingEmailError: Please setup default Email Account from Setup > Email > Email Account”
It seems Dropbox is confused - maybe delete and reenter your Dropbox settings?
https://erpnext.org/docs/user/manual/en/setting-up/integrations/dropbox-backup
I tried to reset dropbox settings but still the same error with private folder not being backed up,
Guys, any help regarding my backup problem?
I suggest you respond and contribute what you yourself have found, tried or done to resolve this?
Is there any error log?
@clarkej i did as u menstioned and reset dropbox settings, but still the same error i posted before, nothing has changed
You mean still this error!?
“OutgoingEmailError: Please setup default Email Account from Setup > Email > Email Account”
yes, and still does not backup private folder
i just did not setup email account for now,
Have you checked that the directory exists with the correct unix user, group, and file permissions?
For eg my case
frappe@erpnext:~/frappe-bench$ ls -al sites/erpnext.vm/private/files/*.png
-rw-r--r-- 1 frappe frappe 8204 Nov 22 2016 sites/erpnext.vm/private/files/GK.png
Sorry for Delay regarding updates,
First i setup email for notifications, now i get this error which seems to be the same error i get when i tried to install Bench manager

Good so you setup you email as prompted, that hid this traceback of the problem you seek.
The traceback says a filename in your /private/files has a character that causes the upload to Dropbox to fail. So inspect the filenames there, to identify the problem filename. You may need rename it
Which version of frappe you are using. We have fixed this issue. If you are on latest version, please let us know.
i am on 10.1.29 frappe and erpnext on 10.1.30
i have file names that has arabic letters in it, but it never was a problem before in earlier versions, it used to backup filenames with arabic letters normally to dropbox
We will check into this and update you soon,
any new info regarding my problem?
