Dropbox StaffHi there konocti-view - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you clarify if the typo is in your email's handle or if the domain is misspelled?
Also, are you getting any specific error if you try to change it through your account's settings?
Let me know what you find!

The incorrect address on the account is @hughrs.net. The correct address is @hughes.net.
When I go to change the address, I am told it is already taken. Of course, I'm using it.

That typically means that another account already exists with that email address. Have you tried to sign in with it? Reset the password if necessary.
I can't reset the password because the email address can't be verified. because of course the wrong address is on the account.
As to two accounts, I may have one from my Iphone but I'm not aware of it. The reason I say this is because there are photos in memory that come only from the phone.
- JayHi konocti-view1, since you're posting on the forum with 2 different accounts, as Rich suggested, it seems you already have an account with the correct email.
Try logging into the account with the correct email, or resetting the password if you're not sure what it is.
Since that account already exists, you can try downloading the data from the wrong account and then transfer it to the correct one.
I tried with no success. Not much hint as to what. Got any suggestions? Be specific, I'm a novice
