I have had a Dropbox account for years, and I recently downloaded the Dropbox app on my iphone 15, which I got to replace a previous iphone that I damaged beyond the ability to use.

 

I am logged into Dropbox on my Mac and in my browser.

 

When I went to log into the Dropbox app on my new phone, I was presented with an interface to create a new account, but not to log in.

 

I went ahead and entered my email and password for my existing account in that interface, thinking it would provide me with a login interface once it recognized that an account with those credentials already exists. But it doesn't.

 

So I can't find any way to use this app. What is the solution?

Hey @Travel G., thanks for posting on our forum today. 

 

Can you send over a screenshot of what you see exactly on your Dropbox mobile app? Please make sure your email address/password isn't visible before uploading it here.

 

Let me know when you're ready.

Same here. And I don't see an option to upload a screenshot. But I too cannot login, there is no login page only a new user page

Seems like you have to delete the app and re-download, or shut down the phone and restart. The login suddenly appeared on mine after trying different things like that.

You are correct!! Restarting the phone did it! Weird issue. And I'd have thought it would have recognized a "restart" from this morning when I did a software update. iOS 18 on a new iPhone 16 pro max. Thanks for the tip
