Hey Toucanne! Hope you’re well. 

 

We can’t know this for sure, I’m afraid. It’s possible that the difference you see was caused by a reinstall, or a relink of the Dropbox app on this device.

 

Also, since the <”Chrome Mac OS”> device seems to be a mobile one, I’d suggest removing it, as well, and then try to log in to Dropbox on your iPhone 11. Are you able to sign in now?
