Cannot unlink Dropbox from Google Account
I cannot figure out how to unlink my dropbox account/login from my Google account on my PC laptop. On my PC laptop I do not use a Dropbox app, but anytime I go to "dropbox.com" it gives me the optio...
- I finally figured it out after some digging, and not sure how I missed this before.
Had to login to my Google account, select, “Manage your data & privacy” under “Privacy & personalization” and then scrolled down to, “Data from apps and services you use”. Dropbox was listed under “Apps and services”.
Unsure how I missed that before but that resolved the issue. Thanks to Megan and Rich for responding yesterday (12/7/23).

I have someone that will be periodically using my laptop and need my dropbox account unavailable.
The proper way to do this is to create another computer user account for this person. When they need to use your computer, you sign out of the computer and they sign in with their own account. This will keep all of the files and settings in your own user profile secure, including access to your Dropbox and Google accounts.
Rich - I understand what you are saying but respectfully I disagree with this being a resolution. Your response is turning a blind eye to the issue at hand, which is that there should be a simple way to unlink Dropbox from Google so that if a person is signed in to their Google account it automatically provides permissives to login to Dropbox on a PC without providing the ability to enter a password. The issue is no password is currently required to login to Dropbox even if I sign out. As soon as I type “Dropbox.com” it gives the option to login without password needed.
