Was able to solve it. Problem was that I was using that account as a secondary or recovery account for another one and Dropbox doesn't seem to alow that. Thanks for your answers and help.

Thanks for the reply, Walter. Yes, I have tried in incognito and tried clearing the cache. I am having a bug I believe. When I try to sign in with the Gmail option it shows me the message "There was a problem completing this request". So I try the Email option. When I write my email on that box and click continue it redirects me to a page that says "Create an account". I try to create the account and when I click on "Agree and Sign up" it shows the message "Email already taken". It is an never-ending loop.

Sorry to hear about this, danielbwbn.
Is it possible to try from a different network, to see if that makes any difference?
