    Thanks, Nancy, for responding. 

    I have since resolved that issue with the help of Dropbox Support. I now need to merge two accounts. 

    I await our respective timelines to work so that I can receive further instructions from Dropbox Support.

    Hi Hannah,

     

    I have tried to follow the instructions given by Dropbox Support in the following link: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/make-files-online-only

    However, when I click on my Dropbox Account (P9) avatar, the is no Preferences option.

    I am hoping that someone in the Community can see this and reply outside of USA work hours.

    Hi Russell

     

    Are you doing this on the desktop software and not the website? 

     

    You need to click on the Dropbox icon on your computer and then the avatar at top right.

      Thanks for the prompt reply, Mark.

      Yes, I was on my Desktop, and your instruction worked. Brilliant.

      Russell.

        Hi All,

        When I thought I had succeeded in merging two accounts by following all the instructions, I noticed that the folder I most use was still incomplete (showing files from the account I no longer want to use as the default account on my laptop).

        When I use a private (incognito) browser to view my other account (which is now a little overfull), the same folder is complete. However, there is no Download option (not even in the ellipsis options). Why?
