 * Hi there, I searched forum/internet, couldn’t find the answer.
    When I install
   Updraftplus on my website and I choose backup to dropbox – how does the plugin
   know to which dropbox to link? This is **not **the situation where I want to 
   re-authenticate, but simply: the first time. I have 2 dropbox accounts, both 
   seemed active at my laptop when I choose ‘dropbox’ as backup location.
 * It’s not based on the exact e-mailadress, because I use a different mailadress
   for my site then for the dropbox account.
    Although the have the same domain-
   name. Is that where Updraftplus looks at?
 * Thanks you for looking into this question!

 * Hi,
 * It depends upon which Dropbox account you’re logged into in your web browser (
   and whether you use the buttons on the Dropbox authorisation screen which the
   Dropbox website shows during the process to logout and choose another account).
