Hi mark_urq,
Take in mind that when you delete Dropbox application from any device, it doesn't mean that established connection on that device drops automatically. 🙂 Most probably that's what confuses you. Before delete/uninstall the application you need to unlink it. 😉 Something that seems you skipped.
You still can disconnect any connected application using device list here (the name is a bit confusing - not devices actually, but connections/links list). Take in mind to make a third connection, you need to have at most 2 existing (otherwise the new one gonna become fourth and that's why rejected).
Hope this helps.

Super User IIHi mark_urq
Have you also deleted the old iPad connection? If you are reinstalling its possible its trying to set a new connection up rather than using the old one already there.
Thanks Mark for the quick response.

Thank you so much for your assistance. I found all the connected devices and deleted some very old ones and got back to only one device so now I can connect my app on my iPad again.
