    Hey varunissar8​ - sorry to hear about this. 

    When it comes to the status you got, note that this may mean that the recipient already has an account with Dropbox, or that the recipient is attempting to register with the same computer as you. If you feel this status is inaccurate, you can double-check the email address of your recipient and try again.

    I hope this helps a tad and please let me know if you need any further assistance.

    Hey varunissar8! Since we may need some account-specific info in this case, I suggest logging a ticket instead. 

    Can we reach you to the email address that’s linked to your Community profile here?
