Accounts don't expire. Your subscription can expire, at which time your account is downgraded to Basic and your files stop syncing (if you're over your quota), but you can continue to access the account and your files. Nothing is deleted.
The only time an account will "expire" is if it's left idle for more than a year, at which point the account is deleted due to inactivity.
Hi Rich,
Now I fully understand. Thank you! What if I'm currently using my personal email and wish to switch to my business email? Will I be able to access all of my former email's files?

Hi nikaymateo, if you want to change the email on your account, you can do so from this page.
Bear in mind that the email to which you're switching should not already be associated with another Dropbox account.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know.
