Hi Santa72, let's jump right into this! 

 

Have you tried signing out of your Google account, beforehand and then trying to see if Dropbox will prompt you to sign in using Google Sign-In?

 

Keep in mind that, In order to have an admin console, you'd need to be part of our Business plans. If you're on a Basic account, you wouldn't have that option.

 

Let me know of any updates!
