Hello, I am not sure if you got my previous comment here cause there was no message / feedback on the website. So again: I installed your app that seem to be exactly what we need. I installed the requirements in the venv where our Odoo16 is running like pip install dropbox... During various test I changed the folder permissions in the addons directory from drwxr-xr-x 10 root odoo 4,0K Nov 9 20:10 auto_database_backup (like all other addons) to drwxrwxrwx 10 root odoo 4,0K Nov 9 20:10 auto_database_backup The local backup path has now drwxrwxrwx too. Nextcloud credentials, databas name and password are correct... However I always get the error access denied. What can I do, what did I miss. Looking forward to get your feedback be email to mh@rad3.de. Thanks a lot.

Hello, got your great app. It is installed on an test enviroment and seems to run. In the meantime I changed the folder permission in my ..../addons for testing from drwxr-xr-x 10 root odoo 4,0K Nov 9 20:10 auto_database_backup to drwxrwxrwx 10 root odoo 4,0K Nov 9 20:10 auto_database_backup. However, whatever I try, local backup or Nextcloud, I always get the error Access Denied. I run out of ideas (and I am not an IT specialist ;-)), database name and password are correct, backup path is set to drwxrwxrwx too and should not cause the problem. Nextcloud credentials are tested and correct... Would be great to get your feedback / recommondation by email, thanks. Best regards Matthias
