Cannot change my email address via Settings
When I want to change my email adress, I need to verify it first.
I receive a pop-up, enter my new email and current one with password.
Note => email adresses are not the same.
When I change my current one to the new one (so two times the new one), I also get an error (red cross without a message).
How can I force to change my email?
Hey RaymondvA, thanks for checking!
Is it possible that the new email address you're using when trying to update your old one with, has a Dropbox account linked to it?

Hi Jay,
No, I did not do that? How to do it?

Hey RaymondvA, would you mind taking a look at the relevant Help Center article, and let me know if this helps?

Yes, I am signed in to the old account and trying to change the email address in settings.

Hi dgisle, currently it isn't possible to transfer a payment on one account to another Dropbox account.
Are you only interested in changing emails, which doesn't involve any actual data being moved across, or do you want to have the account with the data on it to also have the payment on that account?
