1 year agoHey Jayceementoor, thanks for reaching out to us and sorry to see that you're having an issue.

Let me know and we'll go from there.

I’ve also tried doing it through my Apple ID on the App Store aswell but it keeps coming up with the same problem.- Nancy1 year ago

Hi from me too, Jayceementoor! If you find the Apple ID on your device, does it show the same email address as the one you see linked to your Dropbox account here?
