    No, I will not be wasting any more time on this. I have spent days on it already.

    Dropbox just works flawlessly

    Thanks for your reply and sharing the test results.

    Due to system version update the sequence of steps I shared earlier may not show up the same as the actual phone. Below is a screenshot from the Samsung test phone where I was able to see the Linked accounts option. If it is convenient, I would like you to share the screenshot of the interface you are seeing with me so that we can investigate further. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    I removed samsung permissions from additional security options

    On my Galaxy S24 Ultra, I went to settings > accounts and selected my Samsung Account

    However I see no option then, to tap Apps and Services
