See the attached error message of my attempt to add a session to my Dropbox data source. I found another mention of a problem with Dropbox from 3/19/2011 where there was some problem with the SSL cert being expired with DB, but I went to that link and the SSL cert seems fine. Also, attached is my about for RDM showing that the version I'm using is above the one linked to in the previous thread.
Here is the exception from the log:

Hi,
I deleted your attachment, your license was in the screenshot :) It seems that the xml is corrupted, can you verify the xml content directly on your dropbox drive?
David Hervieux
Thanks for that... and I'd like to officially request that sensitive information like that be removed from the Help/About.
About the connections.xml, it's non-existent. It isn't in the list of deleted files either... and I've just tested to ensure I can login to my Dropbox account from this computer.
Hi,
Your request is accepted. Can you send me a print screen of your dropbox configuration in RDM. It seems that RDM found the file but is unable to read it.
David Hervieux
Attached.

Hi see the problem, the dropbox directory is invalid, it's the directory in Dropbox, for example "Public". Leave it blank for the test.
You don't need to install the Dropbox client, we do the connection.
David Hervieux
That did the trick, thanks.
Out of curiosity, the connections.xml file isn't showing in the normal desktop client, nor in the Web interface, but I do see the Devolutions has been added as a Dropbox app. Is this normal?
Also, kudos on the quality software.
Hi,
I don't understand, I see it on my dropbox when I used it. I just retry to be sure and a created a new file named connections2.xml and it was synced few seconds later
David Hervieux
Here's what Dropbox is showing as my recent updates/events.
The first two are after the Datasource is connected, but before I've put any data in it... so once I added a session, the connections.xml was created.
I misunderstood the blurb which said, "The file will be created if it does not exist."
