You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

The provided user information isn't valid | iPhone XR
Haven't used Dropbox for a while. No problem signing into my account on dropbox.com. No problem re-installing on my Mac and managing files from there. I removed about a dozen old linked devices, keeping my main computer because of the free account rules, leaving just the main computer linked.
- Attempted to sign in on an iPhone XR not previously used with DropBox.
- Checked app was properly updated to latest release available for iPhone XR.
- Tried three times to log in. Each time, I was sent a one-time security code by mail, which I entered.
- The app would not allow me to sign in on the iPhone with the security code. I did carefully check each time that the security code matched the email. (Plus Apple provides auto-fill, detecting the code from email, and they matched. Tried once with auto-fill, twice with hand-entry.)
- After the third attempt, all logins on the iPhone XR now say "The provided user information isn't valid". I don't even get to the 2FA/security code email step.
- Web: No problems.
- Mac: No problems.
I was planning on using DropBox to store presenter notes for a trip in about a week.
Help appreciated. Thank you in advance.
So, apparently after updating new password on Mac, it takes time to propagate via iCloud to iPhone. When I "revealed" the password, it showed I was using the original password before password reset a few minutes ago.
Manually typed in the new password I just set on desktop web. Got in, was bombarded by "UPGRADE NOW!" but...seems to be working, even if the UX is a little hostile.
Thank you for your help. Hopefully this is solved.
