I have a problem logging in after I did phone reset.

At first I thought that maybe I am entering wrong password so I did password reset as well but it doesn't help.

I waited for hours but nothing is changing.

I tried to uninstall and install app again but problem still persists.

Update: i managed to solve the problem by logging in from my computer and changing the email address. I haven't tried to change back to the old email, to see if that solves the issue, because i have plenty of emails and i really don't care which one i use for dropbox. And i was glad i finally managed to make it work anyway 🙂

Same here, feels like some sort of security upgrade that's gone wrong

Same problem and I only have one device connected.

 

I erased the others in case that was the problem...
