Unable to change my email address in Dropbox,
it says my email address is already being used, how do I get dropbox to accept my email?
- You need to cancel the account that is using the email address.
So, request a reset of the password on the account at www.dropbox.com/forgot
Log in to that account
Go to www.dropbox.com/account and close it.
THEN go back to the original account and change your email.
