Try going directly to Dropbox.com on a browser(pref Chrome). You may be able to it from there.

Thanks for checking that out for me, 3putts. 

Since you're on a Basic account, you have a three device limit. This means that if you'd like to link a new one, you must unlink enough devices down to atleast two before trying to sign in to another one. You can find more info about this here.

As ErinSimon827 also mentions though, if you want to navigate through your Dropbox account on your mobile device, you can use the website from your mobile's browser.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
