Dropbox says no internet connection when trying to sign in to the Android mobile app

I am trying to sign into Dropbox on my new Samsung phone.

 

Dropbox states “you need an internet connection to upgrade your account” when trying to sign on my new phone.  BUT I HAVE!

 

I am not trying to upgrade, just signing in.

 

I have uninstalled Dropbox on my old phone.

  • Hey RiaT, would you mind checking the connected devices section in the security page in your account settings, to double-check if you have less than 3 devices linked to your account already?

    Hey RiaT, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Are you seeing the same behavior both on WiFi and mobile data?

     

    Which version of the Dropbox app and Android are you using?

     

    Thanks in advance!

        Sorry, Android 14

         

        After filling in my email address and password I get as far as filling in the security code and then the “you need an internet connection to upgrade your account” pops up.
