How can I change my email address on one of my devices?
I need to change email address on one device
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

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey 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

I need to change the Dropbox email address on a notebook PC ... 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.
I have tried that
The sign out seems to occur
The Dropbox app shuts down
The Dropbox App restarts
A signin dialog starts WITHOUT asking for any credentials
Dropox signs back into the email account that I Do Not Want To UseThis method does not allow me to specify another email address
But, thanks for trying to help

You need to unlink Dropbox from your device and then relog on using the email you wish to use.
Before you relog on, however, make sure you have either moved the files out of the Dropbox directory, or, deleted them, or they'll sync to the account you change.
The Unlink advice mentions a security tab
I do not see a security tab in the Windows App
I do not see a security tab in the Dropbox browser interfaceThis advice does not seem to apply
Thanks for trying to help
