Automatic export to Dropbox works again in Version 3.51.2 👍

Just a tip, as long as the problem is not fixed:
Although export to Dropbox doesn't work, Sharing->Add to Dropbox does work. Unfortunately not automatically after stop recording, but easier then any other workaround I did find.

Even installing and using GPS-Locker did not help. The logging stops at random times and resumes minutes or even half an hour later without any obvious reasons.
It did work fine for years on my Galaxy A5 and it did work fine on my A50 from Nov. 7 till Dec. 6 2019 with the same settings as on the A5 (I hope). Since then, I noticed those gaps in logging every day.
Any suggestion?

Yesterday morning it seemed to be working correctly, but in the afternoon, I found again several gaps in the track. Trying now the GPS-Locker app.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions c.s.g.! I was already suspecting battery optimization as the cause, believing, I excluded Locus already from it. However, on the "Dont'kill my app!" page, I found one more setting ("Optimize Settings"), which I did not disable yet. I'll give it a try.

Recently, i.e. since December 6, 2019, track logging stops recording at some points in time and resumes again after a while (43 minutes in my sample screen shot). Initially I believed, the phone lost the GPS signal, but a Holux logger did log the track correctly at the same time.
I am using Locus Version 3.42.0 under Android 9 on a Samsung SM-A505FN Firmware: PPR1.180610.011.A505FNXXS2ASK1

For the second step "Copy your backup file ... to PC" I love the Freeware utility "MyPhoneExplorer".
It connects Windows to Android via USB, WiFi, Bluetooth or infrared and not only allows full or partial backups (and restore), but also provides many functions such as synchronizing contacts and calendars, copy & paste between desktop and Android and others.
