Email address associated with my DropBox account
Hi All, I have changed my email address on the Dropbox website which has been verified, however the email address on the Dropbox desktop app is the old email address, how do I update it?
Hi again Здравко,
After rebooting my device and restarting the Dropbox app twice the correct email address is now showing.
Thank you very much for your help.

...I considered to unlink my application as you suggested ( Preferences -> Account tab -> Unlink... ) and link it back, however the selection to do so says "Unlink these accounts in Settings on web" and I was not 100% confident to action.
Actually "unlink" means break the authorization between local application instance and the Dropbox account. You can do this in 2 ways. Either push the "Unlink..." button in your local application settings or remove your device' line out from devices list associated to your account. Both are equivalent (same final result). Select whatever is more convenient to you.
