How can I link another user's computer to my free Dropbox account?
I have Dropbox Free and am allotted three computers. I use two. How do I add and sync my wife's laptop as the third. She already has a Dropbox account.

The third would be a third one of your devices using your log ons.
You want to create shared folders between you and her for whatever data you wish to share - just remember it will use both of your quotas: www.dropbox.com/share

She has her own account.

Got it.
If she is subscribed to one of our personal/individual plans like the Plus plan 2,000 , you might be interested to get a Family plan instead that allows you to share the 2,000 space with up to a maximum of 6 members in the Family , so you can get a bigger space for yourself while maintaining your existing individual account. Sharing of files within the group will be much easier because the group has a default common shared folder that automatically provides access to everyone in the plan if anyone of you uploads files to that folder. So , while your wife is using the laptop, she can just share files with you through the shared folder whatever it is that you need to obtain from the laptop without you needing to log in to your account in her laptop itself. To know more about how Family plan works , you can click this link: www.dropbox.com/family
Hope this helps.
