Those who want to sync between a desktop Mac, laptop Mac, iPhone, and iPad will now be forced to do this linking/unlinking dance-or will be as soon as they’re forced to unlink one of those devices for some reason. If you don’t wish to upgrade, you can instead link and unlink devices to stay within the three-device limit. With this change, Dropbox is clearly trying to push more Basic users to the Plus plan, which costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year. Happily, if you have more than three devices linked to your Dropbox Basic account currently, they’ll remain linked, but you won’t be able to add any more.

In a support article, Dropbox says that paid Plus, Professional, and Business users can still connect to their Dropbox accounts from as many devices as they like, but as of March 2019, free Basic account users may use only three devices at once. The mobile technology site Liliputing has discovered that Dropbox is now limiting free accounts to just three devices.
