    Perhaps you can give these steps a go and see if they make any difference (only if you're not on a free Basic plan with more than 3 devices currently linked): 

     

    1) Clear the cache on your Dropbox app.

     

    • Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper-left corner of the screen
    • Tap the gear icon labeled "Settings" at the bottom of the menu list
    • Scroll to “Privacy” & select “Clear cache"

     

    2) Uninstall the Dropbox App

    3) Sign out from the Play store

    4) Restart your device

    5) Sign into the Play Store

    6) Download and Install Dropbox

    7) Try to sign into your Dropbox account
