thank you Здравко for your reply. 
I am not a developer - I am a simple user (I am good in business - but I have no clue about IT).
I just want to migrate my dropbox to Microsoft OneDrive - and of course to get trough to MS support is a nightmare. 

I asked the question here - because the message "login with your work account" appeared on . In the meantime I realized that "work account" = "team account". 
So the issue is in UX of login at dropbox - this message is "login with your work account" and it should be: "the dropbox account which you try to login to, does not allow you to continue this process. If you have also a "Team account" - log in with that one, the process will work"

But of course every word is very expensive to write - so hundreds of IT consultants can be hired instead 🙂 (just sarcasm - dropbox UX is far better than Microsoft UX).
