Message from Dropbox about completing date of birth by 1st September or lose Family Plan Access
I received the same email & have the same issue. I can't find where to update the DOB from! This truly frustrating for how much we pay for this service. Not to mention that we store important personal and business data on it.
DropBox team, please sort this out!
Hi everyone, as this is account-specific information, if you've been receiving these notifications, please could you contact the support team directly in order for them to assist further on their end.
This issue has now re-emerged and the link I received to confirm my Date of Birth just forwards me to my Home page. I can't find any place to enter or confirm my Date of Birth on either the web app or the desktop app.
the same for me!!! I have tons of information on my family account and do not know what to do.

Hey dazoom, iksor and Vahab Solgi, thanks for alerting us to this.
Can you all just confirm that you don't see any prompt to add your date of birth, when you sign in your account online?
This is a work account, corporate I am not a minor, by mistake I put today's date when I request the date of birth and now it appears that the account is going to be closed.
How can i change my date of birth, i typed wrong date of birth and i can login to dropbox. Thank you.

i recieved this notification and I entered an incorrect number in year, now it tells me that my account will be closed. How can I update the information?
That was probably a Phishing scam attempting to get people to supply their date of birth as the perp is building enough information to open phony accounts or to gain access to your accounts. Do not think it is a good thing as it is an obvious Identity Theft attempt.
Same problem. notification messages both via email and when accessing my account through a browser, without the ability to enter DOB. This is a bug. Fix it.
Recibí esta notificación e ingresé un número incorrecto en el año, ahora me dice que mi cuenta se cerrará. ¿Cómo puedo actualizar la información?
