    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

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.

    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 Use

    This method does not allow me to specify another email address

    But, thanks for trying to help
