    Hi nicole1020, happy Monday, wishing you a great week ahead!

     

    As a first step, would you mind clarifying if you use Google Sign-in with your account, or if you simply used your email address, in order to create an account with Dropbox? 

     

    If you used Google sign-in, do you remember if you set up a password for the account, or if you used your email's passwords? 

     

    Let me know more, and I'd be happy to share more info on this with you!
