    All, 

    I believe my issue has been resolved.  I heard from Isaac from Dropbox support:

    "The development team has released a new beta version of the Dropbox desktop application that may resolve the issue you are experiencing.

    If you would like, you can download this version of the Dropbox desktop application from the following link:

    https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?build=71.3.105&plat=mac&type=full

    If this resolves the issue, you should be able to continue using this version as it will update automatically to the next available build going forward."

    I installed this version and set everything up again.  I've been using it sparingly for the last few days and have not had any issues.  

    Good Luck.

Hello GFP

Fyi, when you are running the Desktop CLient, one links there account via tokens once authentication is done with Dropbox servers.  You can't log out and log in as it doesn't really use username and password.  If this is the case, you would need to unlink it.

you can view the links devices here https://www.dropbox.com/account/security

also you can unlink it by clicking on the X on the right hand side of the device name

Hopes this helps
