Dropbox Unlinked My Accounts Suddenly
Hi there!
I've have a free dropbox personal account for 15 years, and at some point added a free Teams account. Several years ago I upgraded the Teams account to a Professional account.

The only way to link them now, I'm afraid, is for one to be on a paid Business plan (i.e. with multi user licences).

I also had them unlinked and want to transfer them together. My question though is a little different. For some reason, the dropbox they left on the computer was the little used teams account and my personal dropbox was taken off my computer. Very frustrating. Once I transfer the files to my personal box, should I uninstall and reinstall the dropbox app to get the personal account on the computer? Any other ideas?

If the one on your computer is the little used one I suggest logging out of Dropbox on your machine, moving all the files to your desktop and deleting the 'Dropbox' folder. Reinstall Dropbox from www.dropbox.com/downloading and log in to the OTHER account. That will download everything from that one for you. Then, just add any files from the desktop back to the folder 🙂
