Cannot link my Android phone due to reaching device limit, but I have a paid plan
I have the Plus account with 2TB and unlimited devices. My Android phone says I reached the limit of 3 devices. How do I contact Dropbox support to fix the issue? The page where I can submit the problem does not allow me to type my problem.
Actually, Dropbox apps think that my plan is Basic sometimes. I am in a catch-22 situation. I need help to recognize my Plus plan but to get help Dropbox must recognize my Plus status first. I do pay - they collect my money.

Hi Burdzy, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you certain that you're logging into the same account on your phone as you are on your computer?
When you access this page, do you see what plan you're on? How many devices are currently linked to your account?
This will help me to assist further!

Here are answers to your questions:
Are you certain that you're logging into the same account on your phone as you are on your computer? Yes. It uses the same email and password.
