I have Dropbox installed on both my PC and tablet (Nexus 7 ) but when I install it on Iphone5S it keeps taking me to a stage where I am supposed to then install it on my PC--where it is already installed. What am I doing wrong.
 
There's an iPhone app fo Dropbox. It's not possible to install Dropbox another way. Search for the app in App Store.

Thanks JA, that is what I was doing, it appeared to install OK but refused to open, going to this requirement to install on my PC where it was alreadyinstalled.
 
Could you post a screenshot of Dropbox when this happens?

You do this by pressing both Home and Power button at the same time. You'll hear a shutter sound, the screenshot will be in your Photos app afterwards. Then you'll be able to post it here, using "Upload a file", when you use a browser.

Which software is installed on your iPhone? The latest one for the 5s is iOS 8.3.

At the moment I can't imagine what is happening, sorry. I hope a screenshot will show what's going on.

Thank you J,A.,
I uninstalled it when I could not get it to work, now when I tried to install it, to follow your instructions it puts a different app on.
So thank you again for help, but I will leave well alone. I wanted it to transfer a couple of photos from my PC to the phone which I have now done by E-mailing them to myself.
 
If you try to install the Dropbox app again:
This is what it looks like
