How do I log out of my Dropbox desktop app?
How do you log out/off? I have an icon on my desktop but anyone can click it & get into my Dropbox.
- 8 years agoYou cant log out without unlinking Dropbox completely. If you want to do that you'll need to remember to also delete all of the Dropbox data off your computer because that is a folder on your machine like every single other one (it isnt special).
You are better off securing the user account so that only you can log on to it and only you can get the files (same as 'My Documents' etc.)

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
