Switching email addresses between two accounts - any potential consequences?
Hi folks!
I'm looking to change my email address from email A to email B.
email A has a lot of extra GBs that I received years ago
I enrolled email B in Dropbox years ago, but I've never...
- 2 years ago
Yep, that's exactly right. At the end of it, this would, in turn, make email B the account with the extra GB, and email C (or A if you renamed the second account) the unused account.

Awesome, thanks Jay for the help! Just to clarify, I have:
- email A -- Dropbox account with lot's of extra GBs that I want to keep using
- email B -- unused Dropbox account
- email C -- email not associated with a Dropbox account
My goal is to make email B primary for the account with email A
I can do the following:
- Make email C primary for B (freeing up email B)
- Make email B primary A (I'm done here)
Is that correct?
Thanks!
