Description of my issue: Setting up Post processing to DropBox

I have read in the documentation that I should use the same Token and Key for all sites and just paste them into the Akeeba configuration page.
The transfer will not work though – until I perform the auth. process step 1 and 2.
This will give me a new token/key.
Should I continue with the new or change it back to the first one issued (and do like this on all my sites)?

Joomla! version: 2.5.6
PHP version: 5.3.10
MySQL version: 5.1.63-cll
Host: chosting.dk (cloud Linux)
Akeeba Backup version: PRO 3.6.3

Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Michael Rothmann

You will have to transfer token, key and the user ID. I think I forgot that last part in the documentation :(

A little hard to find the user ID at DropBox - but it works.
Thanks!

Normally you get that information from your other Akeeba Backup installation - provided that it's, too, up to date. Older versions didn't have that field and you couldn't link the same Dropbox user to multiple sites. IIRC that was fix in 3.5.2.
