How can I delete the Dropbox desktop app and only use the online version?
Hello, I want to delete/un sync and remove all desktop Dropbox stuff, and strictly use the online version. How do I do this?
Yes, that will unlink your account, as it sounds like you can't get the desktop app to load. Once the device is unlinked, you can continue with the uninstallation of the app.
This is under "Personal Account" > Security > Devices. Then i tapped the garbage can. looking forward to your conformation

Ok, well there are other people using this computer. So as long as i have unlinked my account with the computer, the Desktop version will no longer have my stuff, correct?

It won't sync any new copies of files, however, the local Dropbox folder will still have any data you had in it before, so make sure to delete that folder or move the data elsewhere if need be.
Ok, I have done that. Everything seems to be as I want it now. Thank you kindly for your assistance. Really appreciated.
Have a great weekend!
