Re: How do i unlink dropbox app on my ipad ?

Hey Bradlkt :slight_smile:

 

Thanks for reaching out! 

To unlink your iPad from your Dropbox account, you can follow these steps: 

1. Sign into your Dropbox account at www.dropbox.com

2. Click your name at the top of any page to open the account menu.

3. Click on your "Settings" and from there, navigate to the "Security" tab.

4. Once you get to the "Devices" section, click on the X next to the name of the iPad you want to unlink. 

 

Alternatively, if you'd like to unlink directly from your iPad, you can follow these steps instead: 

 

1. Open up the app and go to "Settings" (bottom right of menu)

2. Scroll down until you find "Unlink iPad from Dropbox" & click on it. 

3. Tap on "Unlink iPad" to confirm that you want to proceed with this action.

 

This will lead you to a point where you can choose if you'd like to link a different account or create a new one. 

Hope this helps you out and feel free to write back if you've got any further questions!

 

Thanks and have a great day, 

Karina

    Thank you so much. I wonder why that small fact was left out of the significant number of posts I read trying to find the answer. Thanks again.
