    Is it possible that you're trying to use an address that's already used by another Dropbox account?

     

    You can test this by attempting to sign in with that address and requesting a password reset.

     

    If a password rest email comes to this address, it means it's already associated with a Dropbox account.

     

    Let me know what you find.

    Hey roninyun, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Can you try this from a different browser or a private browsing window, to see if that helps?

     

    Keep me posted.
