Hi,
I can confirm that PocketBook Basic Lux (PB615W) suffers of the very same issue.
I've tried already to factory reset PB to troubleshoot, PB is at the latest firmware available (U615.5.17.999 , Release date: 20171130_151207), I am using Dropbox app available natively.
After navigating to Settings -> Accounts and Synchronization -> Dropbox -> Login -> app goes through 'Authorizing in Dropbox' screen -> after that it displays below screen, with no possibility to enter username or password to continue.
After clicking 'New to Dropbox? Create an account' and waiting for a while it will throw below error:
Tried different Wi-Fi connections as well however outcome is always the same.
Ideally if new firmware could be arranged with PocketBook vendor after fix implemented ? Alternatively to provide us with dropbox.app and to replace it via USB connection or any other suggestion ?
Any help appreciated, thank for your efforts on this.
Cheers

Have you tried reaching out to Pocketbook's support for assistance?
I believe they should be able to provide more info on this.

I contacted Pocketbook in January, they said the problem is connected to changes made by Dropbox in authorization algorithm and that for (my) PocketBook 625 there will be no software updates (since it is an old model, discontinued for 3 years). They recomended using other methods of syncing the data...
