Hey MartynC, thanks for visiting our Community.
Can you please go to this page in your account settings, and try to change your email address from there?
If you don't see an "edit" button, what do you see?
Let me know how it goes.

I have the same problem there's definitely is not an edit button to change the email and I can't login from this page because I no longer have access to the email I've had drop box for years and my phone number has changed so I have no way of verifying the email address.

Hey James b124, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
So, just to make sure I got this right, you can't see an edit option when accessing your Dropbox account's settings online?
Also, can you clarify if you're logged into the account on any of your devices?
- James b1242 years agoExplorer | Level 3Yes I am logged into the account on my current device can see all my pictures everything seems to be working fine,but yah when going into the settings it shows the email and password with no edit button clicking on the email does nothing, if I ever get logged out of my account somehow I will possibly be locked out because I won't have access to the email.

That's strange indeed, James b124. Can you send us a screenshot of how the page appears for you?
Just make sure to hide your personal info, like your last name and email address.
