I received a link from a customer but getting a message that the email or password is incorrect
I am not familiar with Dropbox, but I received a link from a customer of mine, but I try to open the file, but I have to log in via my email, but I keep getting the message that the email or password is incorrect. I also have an account created at dropbox but that doesn't work either
Hello Mark, thanks for you assistance, but I finally figured it out. I believe it's what you intended me to do all along. I had been clicking on the dropbox app in my App folder and tried everything to access my preferences/account to log into my personal account. It didn't work, then I saw the dropbox icon on the upper right of my computer screen, next to the computer battery and wifi indicator. I clicked on it, which opened a window. I then clicked on my initials icon at upper right, which allowed me to "access and manage your Dropbox settings". From there I clicked on Preferences ---> Account, and was able to log into my personal account. Both my personal and business account now appears on my finder sidebar. Thanks a million!

It looks like the link sender has set link password. Just ask the sender to give you that password. If he/she has set such a password by mistake, it may be just removed. That password has nothing to do with your account password.
Good luck.
