    Thanks for checking rsekkel!  We have now released the fix that was referenced previously, so if you uninstall Capture, download it again from dropbox.com/capture, and reinstall, then it should hopefully resolve this issue.  Our expectation is that Capture will still try to login automatically with your old account, but it will detect login being unsuccessful and present you with options to login with a different account.

     

    Let us know how it goes 😊

    Hi!


    Thanks for your prompt attention to my msg, but unfortunately the problem remains.

    I rebooted the system, the browser open requesting permission to open dropbox capture, it opens the app but it keeps trying to connect to the wrong account.

      Sorry about that Ronald, as mentioned we have a fix coming for this, but it actually hasn't quite released yet.  In the meantime, in the Dropbox desktop app on the laptop where the issue occurs, can you please try clicking your avatar in the top right corner to open the tray menu and then go to "Preferences", and then open the "Account" tab.  If you see the old account listed there and it's signed in, can you please try clicking "Sign out" and then quit Dropbox Capture and open it again to see if the behavior changes?

       

      If that doesn't work, there is also a link on the "Account" tab reading "Unlink these accounts in Settings on web", which will take you to your account settings on dropbox.com where you can unlink your personal account from your old team based account.  You could try this option; provided you actually want the accounts to be unlinked at this stage.

       

      Hope that helps!

        Dear Mike,

         

        Thank you for your attention to my message.

        I tried every suggestion, but the problem remain the same.

        My old team account did not even exist on Dropbox anymore. I just recreated it as a free account to see if it would login on this account by nothing changed.

        My professional account shown no linked account.

        There must be some old info in the registry in my laptop deceiving the app.
