Hi ajs4files
You need to :
- Unlink Dropbox from your computer via https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/settings-sign-in/sign-in-out

- Then either relink Dropbox via above, or, probably easier to redownload via www.dropbox.com/downloading and sign in with the correct account

Hey Team,
So I'm a heavy dropbox user - as such I have a personal account linked to my desktop. However, I want to unlink that account and so I can link a new dropbox account that I am using more regularly.
How do I do this?!
I can't seem to find any instructions anywhere - only instructions on how to sync if I were completely new to Dropbox.
Someone send help please.
