How can I change my email address on one of my devices?
I need to change email address on one device
- 8 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

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 have another Windows PC that is linked to my other account and I need to change the Dropbox login credentials so that it has access to the same files and folders as the first 2 devicesI still have my original question:

You need to log out of the account already installed and add the new one.
