    I noticed the app was just updated, so I tried again.

    I can now login successfully just with email and password and no reCAPTCHA window, blank or otherwise appears.

    Thanks

Hey slappy, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

This looks like it might be the Dropbox for S mode and not the Dropbox desktop app.

 

Is the S mode version the Dropbox app you're using? Or do you have the Dropbox desktop app installed as well?

 

If so, are you able to access the Dropbox folder on your computer as normal?

 

If you prefer to use the S mode version, can you temporarily disable any security app you might have, like an antivirus/VPN/firewall, to see if that helps?

 

Keep me posted.

All you suggest have already been tried out. The problem is reported one week ago, and we are desperately in need of a solution.

      I'd be happy to submit a ticket if I could figure out how to do so. I can't seem to get past the "Chatbot", which offers up unhelpful suggested answers to whatever question I enter ("can't log into Dropbox using the S Mode app") but seems uninterested in letting me proceed to actually file a ticket.

       

      More precise instructions, ideally bypassing the annoying Chatbot, would be greatly appreciated.

       

      I'm using the "S Mode" app on a Surface Pro X running Windows 11 for Arm, by the way....because Dropbox still refuses to release a full-featured Dropbox client for Windows for Arm...grr....

      Following your suggested link I get two possibilites: Ask Dropbot or Visit he Community. I can't see there is any possibility of filing a ticket there.
