    Hi all,

     

    If you are seeing or experiencing issues with a remote management access by Dropbox Inc, please reach out to our support team, as we’ll need to check private information like the serial number and/or SN ID of the device.

     

    Thank you,

    Sam

Hey there, gelimujiao, thanks for posting here today! 

 

When you say that the device is locked by Dropbox, would you be able to let me know more about this?

 

Is there any chance that you wish to remove a previous Dropbox account from the device? If you have any screenshots feel free to share them with me, just make sure none of your personal info is shown there. 

 

Keep me posted!
