I’ve tried this with both Dropbox and Google Drive.

Dropbox doesn’t seem to do anything i.e. not uploaded. Google I’ve tried with folder designations /My Drive/Backups, /Backups and variations, also with backslashes but my archive always ends of in the root folder and not in the Backups folder.

thanks for the info.
Can you please send your .pbs script to support at conexware dot com and we’ll take a look

I’ll do that. I’ll also send a snip of the clouds page of the script edit, as there seems to be no mention of the cloud in the .pbs file if I look at it with a text editor.

Got the info and the .pbs and will give it a check.

Thanks!

Still don’t seem to have this working as it should. All my cloud uploads via .pbs to Google Drive continue to go to the root My Drive and never to a subdirectory i.e. My Drive/Taxfiles/ (for example).

The pbs file seems to have no reference to the cloud, although a file does get uploaded to there (albeit the root).

thanks for the update! gonna check it as we “speak” and confirm the issue, then log in as necessary.
thanks!

Personally I’m amazing anyone can manage to actually have an idea of how this should work.
I had a look at it when it first appeared in PA and found it utterly baffling. I couldn’t make any sense of it or how one was supposed to use it.

[Mili]

should be used as you would enter a destination folder for an FTP server.
We had fixed this and it worked previously where, for example, /Dropbox/subfoldername/ is typed in for the destination folder and the backup would be saved there.
logging this in for fixing, thanks for the heads up!

small tweak, to upload to subfolder, omit the root folder (dropbox in above post) and type in /test/ to upload to initial subfolder, and that works.
Uploading to /test/test1/ is what needs to be fixed and is logged in.

sorry for the confusion, thanks again for the heads up!
