Is there anyone from Dropbox on to assist with the error 500 or is this just where everyone comes to complain?

I am getting the error 500 after logging in too. At first, I was alerted my password had expired and requested I change my password. Now when I log in using the new password, I'm getting the Error 500 message. Funny thing, the iOS mobile app is still responding to the old password. Seems the system isn't synxing correctly.

Please see other threads.
It seems Dropbox is having a service issue.

Hiker - you wont be asked to update your password on any connected device as they work on secure tokens not passwords. - snrebar10 years agoExplorer | Level 3
