Since you were already using a cloud sync feature, I would recommend mSecure Cloud syncing, because it is the most simple way to keep your data in sync between your devices. If there isn't, we will be needing to update the app soon with a new way to go about Dropbox syncing.įor now, the only thing to do is use mSecure's Cloud syncing or Wi-Fi syncing. We have a support request in to Dropbox right now, but we still haven't received word back to see if there is a fix for the problem. Unfortunately, what they changed has made it so that Windows apps in general are not able to link directly to Dropbox accounts. Dropbox recently updated their API's for app connectivity, and what they changed has broken the linking for Dropbox syncing in mSecure.
Thank you for contacting us, and I'm sorry for the issue you are experiencing.
