Linux – Change account on Linux Dropbox

debiandropboxlinux

I'm running Crunchbang (Debian-based) and I installed Dropbox using the .deb package.

When the program started I logged into an account, but now I want to log out and sign in to another account.

The only possible interface to Dropbox that I have is the dropbox command on the terminal, but it doesn't have an option to change account.

How can I do this?

The easiest way is probably just to rename the dropbox folders:

killall dropbox
mv ~/Dropbox ~/Dropbox-user1
mv ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-user1

Then restart dropbox and set up the new account.

Then you could have a small script that switched between the two by stopping, renameing and starting dropbox.
