how to link computer to existing dropbox account

how to link computer to existing dropbox account

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 @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.

 

Regards,

 

Bert

Hey @bert :upside_down: !
 
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 :arrows_counterclockwise: 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, 
Karina
