How can I change my email address on one of my devices?
I need to change email address on one device
- 2 months ago
I Gave Up
I deleted the Dropbox account that was giving me trouble
And, this time, when Dropbox restarted on that PC, and for the first time, I was given the opportunity to supply the login credentials I wanted to use
And now, after a week of failed attempts, taking a picture with my Android appears in the Camera Uploads folder on both Windows PC devices
P.S. I believe that Dropbox should modify the sign in to allow the user to supply any credentials (email and password) they want to use for that session
Thanks for the help

Do you mean that you need to sign in to a different Dropbox account, one that uses a different email address?

Hey Martin D.22! Can you please clarify if what you mean is what Rich mentioned here?
Otherwise, I'd like more details on what you'd like to achieve exactly and which Dropbox platform you're currently using (website, mobile or desktop app).

I need to change the Dropbox email address on a notebook PC that is running Windows 10 to a different email address on that device in order to have access to an existing Dropbox account

So you just need to sign out of one account and then sign in with a different account. Refer to the link that I provided earlier. It explains how to sign out of your account, then you can sign back in with the correct email address.

It isnt possible to do that. You can only have 1 email address per account.
So if you want a different email on a device you need to use a separate account as Rich said.

I need to change the Dropbox email address on one device"You arent changing email. You are changing account.
You need to log out of the account already installed and add the new one.
