Is it possible to add Apple SignIn to existing Dropbox account?

I've been using dropbox with Google's Sign In and now I've bought an iPhone and want to add Apple Sign in, in case I'll drop my google account completely.

    Now, that you mentioned it. I’ve set password and Apple ID started working. It looks like in order to bind Google/Apple account Dropbox password is required.

I'm getting this error, so I've assumed this option is only for new accounts.

Hi mark_nefedov, is the email address on your Dropbox account exactly the same as the email on your Apple ID?

 

Are you able to login to your account with the Gmail address, and not via Google Sign In?

    Yes, it is exactly like in appleid. I've never logged in with password, and do not have password set in account.

      Thanks for that, in this case, it wouldn't be possible to use Apple Sign In since your account is already associated with Google Sign In.
