Hello,   I have a paid account with a primary and secondary email. Someone shared an album with my secondary email, but when I try to open it I get a popup saying don't have access to the content. ...

Hi AnnieZ900, Welcome to our Community!

Could you try opening the folder from another browser and let me know if you still get the same results?

In addition to this, feel free to send me a screenshot of the error you see on your end. 

Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply! I tried in a different browser, no luck. Here's what I see:

      Thanks for the screenshot AnnieZ900! 

      Just to rule that out, you are certain that the invitation and the secondary email are spelled correctly without any mistakes, right?

      Also, have you verified the secondary email as well?

        I confirmed that the spelling is correct, and the secondary email has been verified.

         

        I tried to create a new account with the secondary email (I know, that's probably bad!), and Dropbox said there was already an associated account. I tried to reset the password, but I never got a reset link emailed to either account. I can still log in normally with the primary account. 

         

        Thanks for your help, Lori! It's much appreciated!
