Hi RaymondvA, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, have your verified the original email, before you tried to change to the new email?
This will help me to assist further!

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?

Hi Megan,
Yes, my email is already verified:
If you've ever clicked on a link in an email we've sent you, you’ve already verified your email address and don’t need to do anything else. ==> done in the past.
Problem still exists.

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?

Yes. I am so confused. I have found that I have three dropbox accounts set up:
[Removed as per Community Guidelines]
I paid or my charge card was charged $129.95
I have no way of knowing which dropbox account this was charged against. It appears that it must be under [Removed as per Community Guidelines] that is where all my pictures are being backed up.
All I want to do is get rid of all the duplication and have just the one account [Removed as per Community Guidelines]
