Solution #1 - Updating Sync2 application to the latest version

Ensure your application is running the latest version. All latest versions of Sync2 were updated to support new OAuth authorization protocols.

To check if you have the latest version for Sync2, open the Sync2 application and click Help > About Sync2. In the About window, make sure the version number is at least 2.88.xxxx. If it's anything lower, click the Check for Update button and update it to the latest version. Your license must be valid for a free update.
