Thanks for trying Thomas C. G.!

Can you access Account A online, then visit your security page and remove your existing device?
Once you do that, you can access Account B online, restart your device and see if the app behaves the same way, and if it redirects you to Account A again.
Hi Megan
thanks for your fast reply! Ok, I gave it a try - but no success. Here's what I did: I signed out of Account A on the desktop app as well as on the dropbox website. I then deinstalled the desktop app and made a system restart before I reinstalled it. I then went to the dropbox website and logged into Account B. After that I opened the desktop app and was automatically logged in Account A again...
Did I make any mistake here or is there something wrong with my system...?

Hi Megan
thanks for your help, that did the trick! I didn't even know there's a list of devices connected with my account(s) online available 😉 After deleting the device, I was presented with a login screen again and could easily connect to Account B, perfect!
Have a great and successful day,

Amazing news!
That's what I like to hear (or read in our case) Thomas C. G.!
Enjoy the rest of your week ahead! 😎
