I found the problem ...
The screen saying "Upgrade to Plus" that appears after signing in during installation, draws the attention to the offer to upgrade and I didn't realize that above that it was saying that I had reached the number of devices allowed. I had a couple of old devices, I removed them and I was able to complete the installation.
Thanks for trying to help but maybe add that situation to your list of things to try 🙂Juan

Dropbox StaffHey Palosanto, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Connection issues usually have to do with some kind of security app you might have, like an antivirus, a firewall, etc.
Do you have any of those apps and does it help when you temporarily disable them?
Keep me posted.
Hanna,
Like I said I read all the posts and suggestions for hours. Antivirus is disabled, firewall permissions are correct, I've even disable with the same result.
This is a real problem ...
The only thing closer to a solution is in this post, go to page 6 at the bottom, but this was done with a Mac, I have a PC and I don't know how to do the same
