how to link computer to existing dropbox account

[bert]

For security reasons I've temporarily unlinked my computer from dropbox. Now I want to relink it but my computer is not shown in the list of devices in the security section of my dropbox account. So my files are not synced. Do I have to delete dropbox and install it all over again? Or is there a way to link my computer?

Hey @bert !

To relink your computer with your Dropbox account, all you need to do is sign back in to the desktop app with the same account / login credentials of your existing account. 

Any additional information associated to relinking your device, and what happens with syncing when you sign back into your account, can be found → here ← 

Hope this helps you out and let me know if you've got any further questions, I'll be happy to help. 

Thanks,

Hey @karinaa

thanks for your answer. In the meantime i solved the problem. I just downloaded Dropbox and installed it again. Now my computer is relinked to my account. I presume Dropbox was removed or shut down after I dislinked my computer.

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind taking a minute of your time to fill out a survey sharing your experience using our Dropbox Community? You can access it here: http://bit.ly/2lNKIxT
