Hi Megan,
Yes exactly, that’s what actually happend.
I’m using dropbox for more than a decade and at that time there was no any option to Sign in with Apple. So, I created my account using the iCloud email. Now I thought to integrate it with Sign in with Apple. Because it’s much easier to login your account instead of tyling the email and password manually. But I mistakenly check the Hide my email option while signing in and it created qnother fresh account which I had to delete. But now when I try to sign in it shows account disabled message.
I hope it explains everything.
Thank you

3 years agoHey IMExperts, sorry to jump in here.
Can you please use the steps in this article to deactivate the "Hide My Email" option for your Dropbox and then try to sign in with Apple again, to see if that helps?

Hi Megan,
Thank you for your reply.
I've already removed the Hide My Email for dropbox. But the issue still persists, as I get the same account disabled error message.

Hey jjreturned, you're currently replying from a different Dropbox account; is the jjreturned one or the JJ90A one that has the issue?
As for you, IMExperts, can we send you an email as well, so we can look into this a bit further?
- jjreturned3 years agoExplorer | Level 4Neither, as ascertained from post topic. You can email or not

Hi jjreturned. If neither of these Community profiles are linked to the Dropbox account in question, you’ll need to open another browser on your computer (on which you’re NOT logged in to any Dropbox account), and log a ticket with our team via these steps:
Make sure that you are NOT signed in to ANY Dropbox account in your internet browser.
Go to this page https://www.dropbox.com/support/sign-in-issues, and select an “issue type”.
Enter your information, make sure that you enter an email address that you currently have access to, and submit it.
You will then receive a confirmation email that will have a ticket number.
Please send me your ticket number here afterwards.

一样的问题,解决不了,只要用Sign in with Apple注册的账号被删除,既无法将Sign in with Apple添加到现有账号,也无法再次用该Apple账号注册新Dropbox账号,联系了客服,但客服甚至一直无法理解发生了什么,无语。
本来想尝试下Dropbox的,结果发现连最基本的账户问题都解决不了,根本不敢付费。
