Access to more than 3 devices with the Basic plan.
This is a personal Basic account. I am the only user. I have never shared files. I had 3 devices on Dropbox for many years and now would like to add a new device. Projects for which I need to use f...
Hi Nancy F.1, let's jump right into this!
The limit for a Basic account is 3 devices, not 4. So, essentially you wouldn't be able to do what you mentioned, no.
To add a new device, you'd need to unlink some of your current devices, not simply sign out of them.
Unlinking a device from your Dropbox account means that Dropbox will no longer sync changes to the files and folders in the Dropbox folder on that computer, tablet or mobile. Basically Dropbox is turned off for that device. Rest assured that no files or folders will be deleted from your Dropbox account.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for clarifying. I never saw the word 'linked' mentioned, only that you need to 'sign out' of one of the other devices.
I was almost ready to do that when I decided I'd better clarify. I still have the 'Select devices to sign out of' window open. No boxes are checked, so if I just click on 'back' {the only option) will that end the process? Or is there something else needed to end the process??
Thanks!
I have changed my mind and decided not to add a device to my Dropbox account. However, I still have the open window for 'Select devices to sign out of'. No boxes are checked, so if I just click on 'Back' (the only option) or simply close the window, will that end the process? Or is there anything else needed to exit the path I had started?
Thanks!
You don't need anything else to stop the process since your haven't unlinked another application yet (again, no sign out and no device 😁).
Have a nice day!
