I'm trying to sign back into my mobile app, but it says my email address is already in use.

I had a problem with my computer and had to reinstall dropbox, but now the dropbox of my phone is no longer sinced with my PC? i tried replacing my computer address to put the same as my phone but I get the message that the address is already in use ?

I also tried linking the 2 addresses and I again got an error message

Please help

    You weren't trying to sign in. You were creating a new account and Dropbox wouldn't let you because an account already exists with that address. Make sure you're signing in.
