How can I close an account and open another in the desktop application?

I have an account in the Dropbox PC application and I can't close it and open it with another account. It always opens with the same account previously configured.

    Hey esteban1599 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Have you tried logging out of your current account through the app's preferences?

     

    Let me know when you get the chance and we'll take it from there.
