I need to change email address on one device
I Gave Up
I deleted the Dropbox account that was giving me trouble
And, this time, when Dropbox restarted on that PC, and for the first time, I was given the opportunity to supply the login credentials I wanted to use
And now, after a week of failed attempts, taking a picture with my Android appears in the Camera Uploads folder on both Windows PC devices
P.S. I believe that Dropbox should modify the sign in to allow the user to supply any credentials (email and password) they want to use for that session
Thanks for the help

Do you mean that you need to sign in to a different Dropbox account, one that uses a different email address?

Hey Martin D.22! Can you please clarify if what you mean is what Rich mentioned here?
Otherwise, I'd like more details on what you'd like to achieve exactly and which Dropbox platform you're currently using (website, mobile or desktop app).

It isnt possible to do that. You can only have 1 email address per account.
So if you want a different email on a device you need to use a separate account as Rich said.
I need to change the Dropbox email address on a notebook PC that is running Windows 10 to a different email address on that device in order to have access to an existing Dropbox account

So you just need to sign out of one account and then sign in with a different account. Refer to the link that I provided earlier. It explains how to sign out of your account, then you can sign back in with the correct email address.
https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/sign-in-out
You need to unlink Dropbox from your device and then relog on using the email you wish to use.
Before you relog on, however, make sure you have either moved the files out of the Dropbox directory, or, deleted them, or they'll sync to the account you change.
I have tried thatThe sign out seems to occurThe Dropbox app shuts downThe Dropbox App restartsA signin dialog starts WITHOUT asking for any credentialsDropox signs back into the email account that I Do Not Want To Use
This method does not allow me to specify another email address
But, thanks for trying to help
The Unlink advice mentions a security tabI do not see a security tab in the Windows AppI do not see a security tab in the Dropbox browser interface
This advice does not seem to apply

Hey @Martin D.22, let me also jump in here!
Keep in mind that the app will most likely connect to the same Dropbox account that you've signed into the Dropbox website.
Make sure to sign out of both the Dropbox website and the app, then sign back in to the correct Dropbox account using the website, and then try the same on our app.
I have 2 Dropbox accounts
I have 2 devices (Android and a Windows PC linked to 1 accountI have another Windows PC that is linked to my other account and I need to change the Dropbox login credentials so that it has access to the same files and folders as the first 2 devices
I still have my original question:"How can I change my email address on one of my devices?I need to change the Dropbox email address on one device"

And if all else fails just unlink, uninstall, shut down and reboot and reinstall via http://www.dropbox.com/downloading
That was helpful
Your advice brought me to a web interface that would let me edit the email address
But it throws an error message when I edit/change to the email address I want to use

You arent changing email. You are changing account.
You need to log out of the account already installed and add the new one.

All you have to do is sign out of the Dropbox website, then you can use any credentials you want in the app. The app and the website are connected.
