Waiting to be linked to a dropbox account
Just setting up a new W10 laptop and trying to install dropbox and sync my files. I have downloaded the latest version of the app 165.4.4300.
The Dropbox icon in the system tray is greyed out. Opening this I get the message WAITING TO BE LINKED TO A DROP BOX ACCOUNT. If I click on the Sign In button nothing happens.
I have upgraded to Plus so it should not be lack of storage.
Very frustrating - any suggestions please?

I recently migrated to a new Mac Book Pro computer, and my drop box gives me the message that it is waiting for me to link dropbox to an account, but I cannot find the place to do so. All I can see is the spinner and the message "waiting to be linked to a Dropbox account." Please see the screenshot below.
Thank you for your assistance,
Mark A. Ellis

Thanks for reaching out about this, drmarkellis.
Do you see any "click here to sign in" message?
Also, do you perhaps have any VPN, firewall or antivirus that might be blocking Dropbox?
Try disabling them temporarily, to see if that helps.
experienced similar issue,
in my Mac Book Air M1, using Ventura ver 13.4
been browse around, with no success,
I did:
1. downloaded from website, no success, uninstall,
2. downloaded version: 182.4.6427, also no success,
additional info, I signed in using my google account, and when I checked online via browser, this Mac already listed as the linked device

Thanks for this info, Udiek_Widh, and sorry to hear you're having trouble using our desktop app on your macOS computer.
Any security apps installed on it that might be blocking Dropbox?
