Hi @kikikei, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

It looks like your message was cut off at the end, so I'm not sure if there's any additional info you were going to add. 

Have you enabled two step verification on your account? 

Have you tried waiting a full 24 hours before attempting to login again?

This will help me to assist further!

my last try from last night until now is over 12 hours...

Hi Jay,

The two step verification is enabled all the time... however I cannot stop it and reset again...once I changed p/w and login to the web version, while I want to stop the two step verification, it pop up a winodw ask for passward, after i entered....there is no response...

I have been using dropbox over 15 years...never tried this before...

Thanks for the update, please wait for 24 hours before attempting to login again on the Dropbox desktop application.

If you're still experiencing this issue after that time, let me know.

Since I downloaded the last Windows version I cannot login either.  And I can´t use properly the version on Windows explorer as some files don't appear in the folders!!! please help

Hi @Anlaila, what is the exact error you're getting?

Is this only when logging into the Dropbox desktop application, or also on the Dropbox site?

[Anlaila]

Only in the Dropbox desktop application, when I try to login: put ID and password, then the captcha box appears, I answer correctly (yes I'm sure it´s correct) but then it launches the captcha box again, and I answer again correctly but then the box is opened again and again... I cannot enter!!! 

PS: The huge problem is I cannot either see all my files in the Windows explorer, although I've tried every solution in this forums: hidden files, administrator changing permissions... all of them

Thank you!
