    Hey @FS65, thanks for letting us know.

     

    You're referring to logging out and logging in to the Dropbox desktop app, correct?

     

    Once you log out, it should give you an option to login to any account you want.

     

    Can you send us a screenshot showing what you're seeing on your end instead, right after you log out?

     

    Just make sure to not show your email address/password etc. on the screenshot.

     

    Thanks in advance.

        Thanks for the screenshots, FS65!

         

        Since you're using the browser to sign in to the desktop app as well, is it possible that on the browser you're logged in to the account you don't want?

         

        Can you try logging in without the browser?
