Hi ElSid1, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The problem you're experiencing could be related with the level of access to the Windows Registry.
This means that Dropbox is attempting to access vital account information using your Windows Registry, but is being denied permission. If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, try using these steps in order to fix the issue.
Keep me updated with any progress!
