    Hi John Smth, I'd be more than happy to help! 

     

    Are you on a Basic plan? If so, would it be possible that you have more than 3 devices linked to your Dropbox account and that's why you're having trouble logging in to this one?

     

    Feel free to also send me some screenshots of the behavior you mentioned.

     

    Let me know more!

Hi @Megan.

 

Yes, I'm on a Basic Plan. And yes I have already 4 devices linked (3 PC and old phone). After unlinking third PC and phone login succeeded.

 

Thanks a lot!

 

PS. Are developers aware of this situation? Proper error message in app would help a bit.
