How can I re-link the desktop app on my Linux Mint VM?

Hi,

I have my account linked to Linux Mint in a virtual machine.  In order to test a couple of things, I opened to settings in the app and clicked the 'Unlink This Dropbox', with the intension of relinking it for the test.  However, I cannot find a way to relink it.  Can someone help?

Not sure if you need additional information.

    Often quickest and easiest way is just to run the install program again :)

    Thanks.  Uninstalling and reinstalling the Dbx app in the repository has done the trick.  Seems funny that I couldn't just click on a button in the settings to 'link' to an account.
