    Thanks for posting this on the Community, jovk!

     

    Can you let me know what’s the exact OS version of the mobile device you’re using, as well as the app version of your Dropbox app? 

     

    If you can also send a screenshot of what you see on the login screen of your mobile app, that’d be great, too. Just make sure your email address isn’t showing.

     

    Let me know when you’ve got more updates.

        Hey jovk, sorry to jump in here, but do you happen to be on the Basic plan?

         

        If so, have you made sure that you have no more than 3 devices connected to your account, including your Android device, as there's a limit you might be hitting?

         

        If that's not the case, please let us know here and we'll reach out via email to investigate further.

    Hi:

    When I try to login I must fill a captcha. After completing it correctly an endless rotating arrow appears and I cannot login.I tried many times and I obtain the same result. Please, help.

      Hey ayudanos2023, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

       

      Have you tried the sound alternative, to see if that might be a bit easier to complete?

       

      One thing I've also seen that helps, is to reset your password.

       

      Let me know how it goes!
