I cannot figure out how to unlink my dropbox account/login from my Google account on my PC laptop. On my PC laptop I do not use a Dropbox app, but anytime I go to "dropbox.com" it gives me the option to continue login using my Google account.
I don't want that if it won't prompt me for a password. I have someone that will be periodically using my laptop and need my dropbox account unavailable.
Searching the web for how to do this I have come across references to logging in as an admin and going to "Admin Console" but I cannot find that the options/selections to follow the steps.
Hi @Santa72, let's jump right into this!
Have you tried signing out of your Google account, beforehand and then trying to see if Dropbox will prompt you to sign in using Google Sign-In?
Keep in mind that, In order to have an admin console, you'd need to be part of our Business plans. If you're on a Basic account, you wouldn't have that option.
Let me know of any updates!

The proper way to do this is to create another computer user account for this person. When they need to use your computer, you sign out of the computer and they sign in with their own account. This will keep all of the files and settings in your own user profile secure, including access to your Dropbox and Google accounts.
