"Submit" URL not working

Question

I have developed a fill-in form using Acrobat Pro DC.

Once completed I want the users to submit the entire pdf form to a folder in my Dropbox account.

In the properties for the submit button I have selected the “Mouse Down” as the Trigger and Select Actions: “Submit a form”. In the dialog box the URL I added is similar to this: https://www.dropbox.com/request/h2zDcDSbC3SbXXXXXX

The link is valid, I have tested it by adding files from other computers.

When activated the “Submit” button works as it should. It triggers a Send/Receive Progress bar, however very quickly there is an error message that reads; “An error occurred during the submit process. The server could not be located”.

I am very much a newbie, so I pretty much need explicit instructions.

I have searched and there are many posts on how to create, but I cat find any that address this specific problem.

Appreciate any help.

A submit URL must be a web process designed to receive a connection. It is not a simple way of saying "save to a place on the web". The web process is software, and must be written by a specialist professional, as it is a major route of attack of web sites.

You must submit to a process on a server. This process can save the form.
