And you didn't initiate the change? If not, then it sounds like someone has hijacked your account. You'll want to reach out to Support immediately. Also, you should change the passwords for any service that used the same email address and password that you used for Dropbox.

 

To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
