Thanks for the screenshots, FS65!

 

Since you're using the browser to sign in to the desktop app as well, is it possible that on the browser you're logged in to the account you don't want?

 

Can you try logging in without the browser?

      If you first log out of Dropbox on the website, do you get the same behavior when you try to sign in on the app?
