What are the Dropbox Password Requirements?

mojorising · 09 Dec 2018

I have dropbox setup on machine A. It is all good.
I want to set dropbox up on machine B.
I cannot get the password right because dropbox will not give me any clue as to what the password requirements are.
e.g.
is a special character required?
is an upper case character required?
is a number required?
If dropbox would give me a clue then I could work out what my password is.

I do not want to do a password reset as that will trash the setup on machine A

I've just tested and no special requirements, I just set up a dummy account with just a few lowercase letters.

^thanks z3r
That is strange then.
If there are no special characters then I am sure I know what my password should be but it is not working.
Maybe I will have to do the reset after all.
