    Good day,

    Can you go to your Dropbox account by clicking your Avatar (person icon or name initials ) on the top right corner of your account screen and then click on Settings. Under settings, choose Apps , do you see your Google account linked or connected with Dropbox? Is it showing the same Google address? They must have the same address. If you are getting that error message that you must connect it to the same google is either you already have connected it to google before (and that’s by checking your connected apps) or you are really using different email addresses. Hope this helps .
