Changing default account

Thank you guys for your responsiveness but I was finally able to delete the Gmail account, which made the Yahoo account the default. The issue is now resolved.
When I click on the desktop icon, it opens the gmail account, which has nothing in it. So then I go to the dropbox icon and click "view on dropbox.com", which takes me to the Gmail account, which also has nothing in it. Then I click signout. Then I can mannually enter my yahoo Email and password, and access the web dropbox version of my dropbox account. But the desktop app doesn't work, and as soon as I close it, it will revert to the gmail account again, and I have to do that process every time. I cannot delete the app from my desktop and start over, and I can't get it to ignore that gmail account and just use my yahoo account. If I could just delete the app and start over I could fix it. But it won't let me throw it in the trash.
