How do you log out/off?  I have an icon on my desktop but anyone can click it & get into my Dropbox.

Normally I use my Galaxy 4 to access this. I am at a Library using a desktop. I uploaded a file and now I want to log out. According to this I have to delete all my files. This doesn't need to be complicated.

The problem is, the Dropbox icon is right there on the desktop, and clicking it opens all my folders and thus my files - EVEN THO I am signed out of the online version. With the online version, at least there's 2-step authentication to get back in. I thought I had Dropbox set up so that the desktop app opens only after I've signed in to Dropbox.

How do I log out of my Dropbox desktop app so I can log in to my HOA account?

Hey, @MPPFred, welcome to our community! 

 

What exactly do you want to do? Do you need to have your computer sync to a different Dropbox account? If so, you can Unlink your computer from the Dropbox account you’re currently signed into by going to the Account tab in our app’s Preferences, and clicking “Unlink this Dropbox”.

 

Another way to unlink is to do so from your account settings online. Have a look here for the steps.

 

Our app will ask you to sign in again, so then you can enter your other Dropbox account’s email and password to link to it! 

 

Keep in mind that the Dropbox folder will be left on your computer, but will no longer be syncing to your account online. 

 

By the way, if your “HOA” Dropbox account is on a free or paid Dropbox team account, you can connect your personal account to it, so that both will sync to your computer! 

 

Let me know how it goes, and if you have any further questions. 

Cheers
