thanks, but when I sign out of the desktop app, the app appears to quit, then after a while it opens a window to sign in, but when I click on the sign in button it automatically signs me back in to my personal account without asking for my log in details so I can't switch the profile over to my plus account.

Hey colintr, can you send us a screenshot of what you're clicking on, before the app automatically signs you into your personal account?
Just make sure to hide any personal info, like your email address, from the screenshot.

Thanks so much for the screenshots, colintr, this is super helpful!
If you go to your account settings online and click the trash can next to the particular computer in the "devices" section, to unlink it from your account, are you then able to sign in with your other account's credentials on the app?
