Hi SeniorBlanco,

Just some tips. You can check if the right e-mail (account) is associated with particular application instance, using a look at "Account linking" field in Account tab on Dropbox Preferences. To be sure that proper account will be associated, initially login your target account, in the web browser, and after that do Lusil suggestions. :wink:

Hope this gives right direction.
