I recetly upgraded from an iphone to an iphone 8. Dropbox on the 8 no longer works. Downloaded the app again and set up a new account. Unfortunately the new account name is different then the mac dropbox account name. So they do not match.
1. Is there a way to sync back and forth between the two.
2. I cannot changed the mac account name. It won't let me. Also the account name is an email address that is no longer in service.
Bottom line is that I want to be able to add/modify files on both devices and have them synch. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi @ALLEN1024,
1 - Between the two account - You can share folders.
2 - What You mean "It won't let me."? Just unlink (using Preferences->Account->Unlink) and link to Your new account. If there is some error message - share more related info.
Hope this clarifies the matter.
Something else @ALLEN1024, Why You didn't update the email address in the existing account, instead new one creation? It would have been much easier.
