re-linking a device

I had to install a new Windows OS, and was afraid that doing so might delete all my files and then sync those deletions--so I unlinked this PC from Dropbox. Actually, nothing was deleted on my PC. But now, I can't figure out how to get this PC linked again so it will sync. I have searched the FAQs, but can find NOTHING on how to re-link. Please HELP!! Thank you.

Hi @john l.134

Have you redownloaded Dropbox and ran it? www.dropbox.com/downloading.

I tried this, but after the install there are no prompts or anything.

Hi @Virginia C.10!

If the Dropbox app's already installed on your device, you can try to manually start it via your Programs/Applications (depending on your OS), and then, you should be asked to sign in with your Dropbox account credentials.

Let me know if that helps.
