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

I have 2 devices (Android and a Windows PC linked to 1 account
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:

I do not see a security tab in the Dropbox browser interface

And if all else fails just unlink, uninstall, shut down and reboot and reinstall via http://www.dropbox.com/downloading

That was helpful
Your advice brought me to a web interface that would let me edit the email address
But it throws an error message when I edit/change to the email address I want to use

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

All you have to do is sign out of the Dropbox website, then you can use any credentials you want in the app. The app and the website are connected.
