It's now April 2024, I've just got a brand new laptop with Dropbox installed, and get the same issue.

It sent me two security codes, I typed them in perfectly (within 10-15 seconds), and it rejected both.

 

I also loathe that Dropbox wants access to my Contacts, for me to login using Google.  They don't even make it an option.

I’m sorry to hear this, Michael G.134. Have you reinstalled the Dropbox app on your device, and it didn’t help either? 

 

You can also try resetting your Dropbox password as an extra step, and it see if there’s any difference afterwards.

 

Otherwise, feel free to send me a screenshot of any errors you’re getting, and I’ll have a look.
