I want to disconnect my old computer from my Dropbox account and connect my new one
New Dropbox user here. I need to transfer my Dropbox to a new computer and delete it from the other. Can someone explain? Thank you.

I have been trying to remove a device no longer in use so that I may add my new device. I canât find a side tab labeled âAdmin Consoleâ and this is my own Dropbox app.
The Admin Console is a function of Business team accounts. What you're looking for instead is your Security page.

4 years agoHey KE7, thanks for posting your question today and happy Friday!
To disconnect a computer from your Dropbox account, you can either sign out of the Dropbox app or remove the computer from your connected devices, in your security page.
You can safely delete the Dropbox files from that computer, once it's disconnected.
And to access your Dropbox files from your new computer, all you have to do is download the app and sign in to your account.
Let me know if you have any questions.
