Can I use two-step verification with Google Sign-In?

Yes. If two-step verification is enabled on a Dropbox account, you'll still need to enter a Dropbox two-step verification code before signing in with Google. This is true even if you're signing in with a Google account that also has two-step verification.

I wasn't able to use Google Sign-In

If you can't sign in to Dropbox with Google Sign-In, there are a few things you can try:

First, verify that the Google email address you're signing in with matches the email address on your Dropbox account.

For Dropbox Business users:

• Verify that Google Sign-In is enabled for your team.
• Verify that single sign-on (SSO) is not required for your team (check with your admin if you're not sure).

For Dropbox Android app users:

• Verify that Google Play Services are installed on your device.
• Verify that Google Play Services are up-to-date. If the application is not up-to-date, update to the most recent version.
• Verify that you gave Dropbox for Android the required permissions. If you clicked Deny during set up, Google will not grant Dropbox the permissions required for Google Sign-In to work.
