8 months agoHey STUD69! Thanks for posting this on our forum today.
The new computer that you mention, is it possible that it was connected to the same IP address as you, when your friend linked it to Dropbox?
Other than that, have they also verified their Dropbox email address in the meantime?
Let me know and we can take it from there.

Hello Nancy. Thank you for your interest in this matter and quick response.
My friend is in Poland and I am in Australia, so quick different IPs. However, the old computer and new computer will have the same IP as they are using the same wifi connection, being in the same home as each other.
I have to follow up on the email verification part.
I will be in touch.

Apart from having my reply to you deleted, nothing has changed.
What changes should I be expecting, other than deletion of comments?- Nancy7 months ago
