"Two-factor authentication text message couldn't be sent" error. I can't access my Dropbox account.

I am part of a group, however today I cannot log into the account from multiple PCs.  Tried many times and now I cannot even try because too many attempts.

    Use your emergency backup codes instead to access the account that way.

    Hi from me as well, creativeadvantech! I just wanted to mention that our team is already aware of this issue. 

    A third-party communications platform that facilitates SMS delivery for Dropbox via telecom carriers is currently experiencing some service disruption. Their engineering team is actively working to resolve this. We’re closely monitoring the situation and will share an update once it has been resolved.
