How did you open two Dropbox accounts? Was the new iMac linked to your Dropbox account or was it showing your old iMac linked to your Dropbox account?
You can run only one installation of Dropbox on a single computer and it can ONLY be linked to a single account! What you needed to do was sign in to Dropbox website and unlink the old computer from your dropbox account. Unlink a computer from the Dropbox website Sign in to the Dropbox website. Click your name at the top-right of any page to open the account menu. Select Settings from the account menu. Select the Security tab. In the My devices section, click Unlink next to the computer you want to unlink Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 28/01/2013, at 12:45 PM, Stuart Breden <bred...@highway1.biz> wrote: > Another question on Dropbox. > > Stupidly I opened two Dropbox accounts.
