# My Dropbox account stopped working in Storage Studio. How do I reconnect it?

Remove the account and add it again. Dropbox accounts can't be edited in place, and signing in afresh replaces whatever went stale — for example after you changed your password or removed the app from Dropbox's connected apps.

1. In **Cloud Accounts**, select the Dropbox account and click **Remove**. If transfers use it, click **Cancel** and note them first.
2. Click **Add Account → Dropbox** and sign in again — using the same nickname means your notes and habits still match.
3. Click **Test connection** to confirm, then recreate any transfers you removed.
