KDE Kmail link with dropbox: "user limit reached". What does it main?

I am setting up Kmail, an e-mail client of KDE. One of the things that it offers is the possibility to connect that programme to Dropbox in order to be able to send very large files to addressees using Dropbox. However, setting up the link with Dropbox, i.e. authorising Dropbox to establish an link with Kmail by entering my e-mailaddress and password, I keep getting the following message: "This app has reached its user limit. Contact the app developer and ask them to use the Dropbox API App Console to increase their app's user limit." What does this mean, what should I do, or what have I done wrong?

Hope you can help.

Thanks!

    It means exactly what it says - the app has reached the maximum number of users allowed, and the developer needs to take action to increase the number of users allowed to use the apps API token.

    You cannot do anything, and Dropbox wont do anything to resolve the issue, the app developer needs to do something.

    Oops, that is a bit sloppy. (Hopefully only a temporary mistake of the KDE people, normally a vibrant and highly effective community - one of the most powerful in the open source universe.)

    Thanks!
