    Hi, yes, sure.

    I just contacted tech support @ DB and they told me to (quote):

    1) Clear the cache on your Dropbox app on both your devices.
    To clear your cache, please follow the steps listed below:
    - Navigate to the “Account” tab
    - Tap the gear icon in the upper-left corner of the screen
    - Scroll to the bottom of the screen
    - Select “Clear Cache”
    2) Uninstall the Dropbox App on both of your devices. 
    3) Go to https://www.dropbox.com/account/security and using the "X" on the right side, please remove all devices. 
    4) Restart your devices. 
    5) Download and Install Dropbox
    6) Try to sign into your Dropbox account

     

    Thant fixed the problem :D

     

    Thanks for the help!
