    thanks for the help, but i figured it out.. I'm using linux and all i did is typed  "killall dropbox" in the terminal and than i was able to start dropbox, and i got a windows to open that asked me if i wanted to link my computer.

      It does show how to relink if you choose the OS.

      How do you mean it isnt doing anything? Is it running or not?

    Hello!

     

    It might seems simple, but to relink Dropbox, you just need to login again in application! :D

     

    Mark is giving you the instructions as well on how to reinstall the App if you dont have it anymore.

    But it might be still on your Device.

     

    On a Mac check if you have the icon top-right, otherwise click on top on GO > Applications and search there.

     

    On a Windows, click on start and type Dropbox, the App should appear

     

    On the mobile, just find the icon! :)

     

    More details would be great if you need more help!

    Rivo, your friendly dropboxing penguin :penguin:
