How Do I Disconnect My Personal Account from My Business Account on Dropbox?

Over the years, technological advancements, especially in the economic sector, have increased the need for individuals and businesses to set up data backup plans. Dropbox is among the oldest and most notably popular cloud hosting service providers offering cloud data storage solutions for personal and commercial use.

So, what do you get with Dropbox? Firstly, the platform is easily accessible on any of the mainstream media devices, including computers and laptops as well as tablets and smartphones. Moreover, Dropbox uses simple software to enable file upload and sharing. With this platform, you can also store and share a wide array of file types and even host group projects and team collaborations.

• Click on the "Security" tab.

• On the option that reads "Devices," you will see a list of linked devices.

Once you've unlinked a device from your account;

• You will be signed out of the application on that device.
