How can I pass the CAPTCHA on the site?
why does captcha have to have so many levels (10+?) & even repeats itself?
Hey there zdavidross - thanks for posting your question here; I'll be happy to provide some more context on the CAPTCHA challenge for you.
As you know, CAPTCHA pages and other security features have been put in place to prevent abuse and protect our users and services too. To pass the CAPTCHA challenge now, you need to enter your Dropbox login information and type the text that shows up in the CAPTCHA challenge or press on the audio button at the bottom of the CAPTCHA box. Then, type in what you hear. Please make sure your volume is audible.
Having said that, if you're getting an error stating that you've entered the wrong CAPTCHA, please try one of the following methods:
1) Click the refresh button at the bottom of the CAPTCHA box. This will give you a new image of characters to type in.
2) Use the audio option I listed above.
3) Try logging in with a different web browser.
Let me know what you find please. Thank you!

This solution puts the cart before the horse.
The problem ain't my (in)ability to solve the captcha. The problem is the captcha.
I got one stoopid click rong, the 19 correct ones weren't enough to establishmy claimed human identity.
I repeated 3 times before giving up dropbox and switching to Google's alternative.
Google's captcha invariably identifies me as human in ONE CLICK.
The proposed solution is as much an insult to my slender intelligance as the idiotic capture itself.
MikeRosePROCouldn't agree more - complete waste of time when 1 out of 15 or 20 apparently doesn't prove I am a human. Ridiculous feature. You need to take this back down to 3 or max 5 images.
