Hi marek_wes, the message you're getting is regarding the 3 device limit on Dropbox Basic plans.
This means that in order to login on the new phone, you'd need to remove a device from your account from this page. Once you're under 3 devices, you can login on the mobile app.

Hi marek_wes, let's jump right into this!
You mentioned that you see a message on your phone, informing you that you're out of space. Is there any way to move past this message, and use your account without an issue, or close the message?

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Dear Jay,
Thanks very much indeed. Have reduced the 3 devices to 2. Can now get back into my account on my mobile. Thanks again. Will be in touch again if there are more queries,
With gratitude,
