Is it possible to add Apple SignIn to existing Dropbox account?

I've been using dropbox with Google's Sign In and now I've bought an iPhone and want to add Apple Sign in, in case I'll drop my google account completely.

    Now, that you mentioned it. I’ve set password and Apple ID started working. It looks like in order to bind Google/Apple account Dropbox password is required.

    嗨 apiplein！ 澄清一下，您是在问同一个 Dropbox 帐户是否可以同时使用 Google 登录和 Apple 登录吗？

    ----------

    Hi apiplein! Just to clarify, are you asking if it’s possible to use Google sign-in and Apple sign-in at the same time for the same Dropbox account?

    Dropbox绑定与谷歌登录了 就不能再绑定苹果登录了吗？ 

    只能绑定其中一个登录？

    ------------------
    If Dropbox is bound to Google login, can it no longer be bound to Apple login? 

     

    Can only one login be bound?

    Thanks for that, in this case, it wouldn't be possible to use Apple Sign In since your account is already associated with Google Sign In.

    Yes, it is exactly like in appleid. I've never logged in with password, and do not have password set in account.

    Hi mark_nefedov, is the email address on your Dropbox account exactly the same as the email on your Apple ID?

     

    Are you able to login to your account with the Gmail address, and not via Google Sign In?

    I'm getting this error, so I've assumed this option is only for new accounts.
