I ran a scan on my computer, and performed the following:

- tried in incognito mode
- disabled the firewall temporarily
- tried in different browsers
- made sure pop ups are allowed in the browser
- Allowed cookies to be run on the site
- ensured the browser was up to date (Using Chrome)
I keep getting this error and am unable to log into Dropbox

As I can see that issue is all over the same.
I cannot login to my Dropbox account on new pc due to Endless CAPTCHA loop.
I am getting message that I am recognized as human being but after that the message from Captcha popped up about not correct result. Then new captcha window is started again. I tried to pass the captcha test few times today.
I have tried different internet explorers, Edge, Chrome, Mozzila.
Please fix this.

Agree.
I have used hours to get into Dropbox and impossible to solve this puzzle. Remove it or else you will lose a lot of customers.
It's also impossible to figure out emailaddress to support?
Yesterday i tried to find this community but again this stupid puzzles so gave up.
Today i succeded getting in here but it can't be right that we can't get help from the people behind Dropbox and have to find the help in this forum? :-( - Walter7 months ago

I'm unable to log in to my Dropbox free account due to the new games CAPTCHA. The puzzle doesn't work reliably and has already cost me over 30 minutes trying to access my account. This is a serious usability issue, and unless a fix or alternative is provided, I’ll have to stop using Dropbox entirely. A more accessible and efficient CAPTCHA solution is urgently needed.

Hi all (and dbox_): I have the same issue. I have spent 20 minutes solving quizzes, never succeeding, and gave up after that. So, maybe changing browser, clearing cache, and private browsing solve the issue temporarily, but the question is: why Dropbox (whose services have been so far impeccable) is using this adversarial method with the poorest user experience score I have ever experienced to sieve humans from robots?
@Dropbox: please stop it, and adopt another one (e.g., the one used by Overleaf seems way better) - John Bingley8 months agoHelpful | Level 5
Once again I was prevented from completing a puzzle. I attempted around 60 moves, the attached is just a few of those moves.
