    Hi there Roberto30, 
     
    As a first step, could you please ensure that you’re trying to sign in with the relevant email address associated with your account? You can cross-check this by checking from other platforms you may have logged in to:
    If you find that it’s the same account, could you try reinstalling the mobile app and see if that does the trick? 
     
    Let me know how it goes!

      I also cannot use the app on my Android 4.4 tablet anymore. It was working fine a month or two ago, but now it's asking me to log in, and says "please enter a valid email address." I hadn't updated the app because it was working, so why mess with it? I've since updated it, then uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, but it still asks for a valid email address. I can log in using the browser on the tablet, but that is so cumbersome with many more steps and time required, not the quick access to my files or integration with other apps that I've had. What changed? An I going to be forced to Onedrive?
