Hi blBr3, you can follow these steps to sign out of the Dropbox desktop application. Once done, you can sign into your correct account with all your files in it.
Thanks Hannah,
I was able to get a sign in via my password and corrected ID. It went thru the motions but ended up showing me a kitty with an umbrella an a message: Something went wrong 5XX.

There's currently a service interruption. Wait a while and try again.
Thanks Rich,
I logged in with a corrected email and there are all my old files! Now Im trying to get the icon in menu bar to represent my Mac's dropbox files.
Would it help to get rid of new unwanted 2GB account? How is that done. I think my old (and much wanted) 2TB account is functional as a file but not showing on the menu bar

I was able to sign out and then in to my regular dropbox. Dropbox didn't come right back to the menu bar but its there now and works again to access desktop or online folder. Thanks so much for your help.
