As it says above ... Can't log in "Previous sign-in interrupted" error.
Any help appreciated.
It's a business account if that makes any difference.
I've tried both Chrome and Edge.
Oh and it is an individual account.
Do you have any antivirus, firewall or VPN/proxy running on your computer @mbarron?
Also, if you happen to be on the Basic plan, have you ensured that you have no more than 3 devices connected to your account as you might be hitting your device limit?

Our company with 150 users is also having this error. Both Macs and PCs. Started about three weeks ago. I’ve got a ticket working with Dropbox support. Our company uses Dropbox as our “file server,” so not being able to have desktop sync is a real problem.
I am an admin on a Business account, our users setting up new workstations are having the exact same problem. “Previous sign-in interrupted” they have tried everything that has been suggested here with no success.

I am now having this same issue. Can someone post what they did to resolve it?
I am on a business account, and I am an admin. I am setting up a new PC for a user, but currently logging in to it as myself. It is a Windows 11 PC, running Chrome. Tried with Chrome version 94 and 116, same error. We are not updating to Chrome version 118 due to a bug in that version that affects my company.
I am also unable to view user attributes in the Admin panel, so I can't check how many devices I have enabled. The page is showing an error:
Update:
I found that my company settings had restricted us to 3 devices. I upped that to 4 and Dropbox signed in perfectly. This seems to be an issue with device count, and an un-clear warning from the dropbox app that you have hit your device count max.
