How do I change the email address for my personal Dropbox account?

Tags Dropbox

NOTE:  A "personal" Dropbox account is an account you created, even if it is only being used for work purposes. It is not managed by UNC Charlotte.

If you've setup a personal Dropbox account using your @uncc.edu email address, please change the email address to a non-@uncc.edu address before provisioning your University Dropbox account

  1. Log into your personal Dropbox account by going to www.dropbox.com
  2. Click your name in the top right corner and select Settings
    Account name
  3. On the Profile tab, under the Personal email option, click Change email
    Account Profile
  4. Enter the new email address you wish to use (this should NOT be your UNCC email address) and confirm your Dropbox password
  5. Click Update email
    Update email
  6. You will now log into your personal Dropbox account using this new personal email address and your password

    NOTE:  You will not need to redo any of your sharing when you change your email address. However, all new sharing invitations will need to be sent to the new email you set.
