iPad app won't let me log in - please help!
The dropbox app won't let me login on the iPad app, it keeps giving me the message "login failed" even though the credentials are 100% accurate.
Also, for every four or five tries I do, it takes me to a page with a captcha and asks me to verify. The captchas are mostly illegible, but when I finally do find one I can read I type it in and click verify only to have the app kick me out to the sign in screen and give me that same "login failed" message.
Note: my iPad iOS and dropbox app are both completely up to date.

What an inconvenience, i also have the same issue...
i tried resetting my password thrice. and it still keeps on telling me "login failed"
i tried redownloading the app on my phone. the issue still persists. >:|
ANY OTHER IDEAAAAS?-____-
Same problem. No joy on any mobile devices but I can sign in on the desktop NO PROBLEM. I have changed my password three times, each time making it simpler and nothing works.
Unfortunately, not being able to access drop box on my devices literally cripples the software that I just paid for to work on and sync across desktop and devices. This stinks.

Which version of Dropbox / mobile OS are you using?
I'm wondering if its a compatibility issue.
ive got the same problem.
Annoying af. Travelling - only have my iPad. Need to update an invoice. Can't.
Changed password twice. Can login via safari, app tells me incorrect password.
So stupid. So so stupid. Dunno what's up, but this needs to be fixed. And I keep getting spammed to buy more space... seems like an elemantary problem - yet here we are.
- Same issue except I have an iPhone 7 with the latest update.
I am having the same issue. I have used dropbox many many times on my ipad but am now having lots of issues logging in.
- MarkHave you done whats been suggested and tried a reset?
www.dropbox.com/forgot Yes, I have done all those things.
- MarkAnd you get a reset password and that doesnt work when you use it on the iPad?
Have you checked then you are using the most up to date version of Dropbox? Correct. The error I get is specifically "sign in failed" "the operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)
