Hey everyone, thanks for posting here today!
There are two major things we need to make sure of.
The first one, is to make sure your accounts are linked using these steps. However, it sounds like you've all done an amazing job at that, but I just want to make sure.
And the second, and most important thing here, is to keep in mind that a personal, Basic account has a 3-limit-device.
I'm suspecting that you can't connect to your account, due to that. Can you all check your account's settings online on your personal account, and check how many devices you have active at the moment?
Let me know, and we'll take it from there!

Hi Megan. Only two devices currently linked to my Personal Basic account and one of them is my Macbook Air that has been unsuccesful in completing the sign in process via the Dropbox app.
