    Is it possible that you're trying to use an address that's already used by another Dropbox account?

     

    You can test this by attempting to sign in with that address and requesting a password reset.

     

    If a password rest email comes to this address, it means it's already associated with a Dropbox account.

     

    Let me know what you find.

    Hey roninyun, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Can you try this from a different browser or a private browsing window, to see if that helps?

     

    Keep me posted.

        What is the error message that you're getting, roninyun?

         

        Make sure you don't include any personal info, like your email address, in your reply.
