Re: How can I get my computers to sync with my new account?

How can I get my computers to sync with my new account?

Hi,

 

I recently upgraded my plan back to Plus, but when I did, Dropbox created a new account. How do I get my computers to sync to the new account? I can't find this command anywhere.

Hey @Chemist - sorry to jump in here, but do you happen to be running any antivirus, firewalls or VPN/proxy settings on your computer?

 

If so, you may need to temporarily disable them. 

 

Otherwise, you could try creating a new OS profile on your computer and try to install the Dropbox desktop app there. 

 

Let us know how it goes!

In that case, you can contact our Support team for further assistance with account and device specific information @Chemist 

 

Once you do so and get a ticket number from our system, you can share it with us here so that we can look it up as well if needed.

Thanks for the ticket ID @Chemist 

 

I've located it in our system and passed your comments on to the agent who's handling your case. I can see that they're waiting for your response so I'd recommend getting back to them directly for further assistance at this point.
