    Hey Walter,

    So I got it sorted now, I guess it had something to do with my own network at home. I was able to login from the office without a problem.

    Thanks for the help anyway!

Hey JohnnyDrama, since you're referring to a Dropbox for Business teams account, could it be that your team's admin has set device approvals from their end? Have you checked with them directly? '

 

If that's not the case, you could try creating a brand new OS profile on your computer and installing the desktop app there.

 

Keep us posted anyhow!
