directly on the operating system.

From the developer's website 2012-04-27:
"""
Do to recent changes in the Dropbox API, EZPZ One Click Backup can no longer
save files to Dropbox.

I apologize but due to various reasons there will be no new versions released or
further support for EZPZ OCB in the foreseeable future.

For a reliable, inexpensive alternative I recommend trying MyRepono and the
MyRepono Plugin. This service, while not entirely free (the fees are as low as
2¢ a day for a small site), works great on WordPress sites as large as 5GB,
maybe even larger. MyRepono gives a $5.00 credit when signing up for the service
so there is no cost to try it out.

Again, I apologize to all EZPZ One Click Backup users and wish you all the best.
