    Yes my Dropbox as I said was just updated.

    I finally figured out what happened..

    the latest update logged me out because I use free Dropbox in 3 devices. My windows laptop, my Android phone and my Android tablet.

    However my former phone was listed as number 4 device linked, even though it has been inactive for over a year....
    The new version of Dropbox included some more exhaustive check and decided to log me out. But instead of giving a clear message like "Exceeded allowed devices" gave that unknown error
    I finally had to unlink both my old Android phone and my New Android which somehow was shown as 2 devices. that was weird.

    finally could restablish connection
