Moving my basic Dropbox to a new computer.
I have the Basic plan. I have Dropbox on 1 PC, 1 iPhone , 1 IPad. I have bought a new computer and want to move to new PC. How do I do that under my current plan.

First, make sure the files on your current PC are fully synced and up-to-date with your account online. You can then visit your Security page and remove your existing PC from your Dropbox account. That will free up a slot allowing you to install Dropbox on your new PC and link it to your account (there's a limit of three devices for Basic accounts). Once you've installed Dropbox on the new PC, all your files will be downloaded to it.
