I tried that but i get an error and it just won't allow my ipad to connect with dropbox.  Keeps getting the error dropbox/captcha is needed to authenticate the connection.  I've done just about everything i could think of to eliminate this.  From deleting my dropbox account and my avg and my other firewalls.  Still no good.

    I've already sent this complaint to Dropbox and i still didn't get any reply other than yours.  So now your sending me to support again.  Like i said there is nothing in support to answer my question.  I only want to be able to connect dropbox with my ipad.  If no one can tell me why this is happening then dropbox ain't good for any use i may have.

    i have tried to contact support but their support is a joke.  No one to explain my problem to and no one to email any info to.  Simply sucks and they are trying to get me buy there other software.  Not bloody likely is that gonna happen with the problem i have.  Come outta the closet dropbox and get your s....t together.

    you apparently didn't understand what problem i'm having.  I can upload to dropbox without any issues, it's when i try to export it that i have the problem and captcha is the problem.  I've tried to contact support but my problem  but that's easier said than done.  I've been  6 weeks now since i started having this problem and there apparently isn't anyone with dropbox that can help me solve my problem.  I'm sorry but that's just not good enough.  I'm forced to use google drive to store my files and get them into my ipad when i need them.  So it looks like i'll be discontinuing my issues with dropbox.

      skidooer_31 I think actually the issue is you've posted on a thread in a forum dedicated to people building and developing apps within Dropbox, not, as I suspect the issue is, with just the bogstandard Dropbox ones. As such Greg-DB was right to point you where he did as he cannot assist with it at all - he is from the team helping other people developing apps, not, developing Dropbox's own. 

       

      Your best bet is start a new thread, or, find a relevant one which isnt in the API area.

        I tried to start a new thread but to no avail.  I feel like i'm being danced around here.  Why is this so complicated to do to just reach the right people who may be able to assist me?
