Is it possible to change about 700 team member's email addresses (tld) at once ?
hi, we have to change about 700 team member's email addresses (only the tld), is it possible to do that at once ? API or something?
- 6 years agoHey there (Pazmoto) & everyone else following this thread, I’m pinging you all again with some great news as you can now bulk-import members to your team through a CSV file (i.e. a spreadsheet)!
Bulk member import is a way to use an uploaded CSV file to invite members in bulk through the admin console. This is ideal to use if you’d like to invite a large number of users at one time, or if you’d like to assign the first & last name and add users to groups at the same time as inviting them.
Please bear in mind there is a 1,000 user limit to the number of email addresses you can invite in bulk at any given time. We also require that the uploaded CSV file be in a specific format, which can be downloaded from the Members page in the admin console.
In order to get going with that, you'd have to fill in & upload a templatized spreadsheet with each member’s email, first name, last name, and group (or team).Spoiler- Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
- Click Admin Console.
- Click Members (or navigate here).
- Click Invite members.
- Click Import CSV file.
- Click Download template to fill out the CSV.
- Import your filled out CSV.
- Click Continue.
- Click Send invites.
Please do let me know on this discussion if you have any questions about this new feature or you experience any issues. Cheers!

So we have to re-invite all our dropbox users under the new email address? I just want to change them to the new address and keep it simple. Doesn't work that way? Thanks.
- Jane6 years agoDropbox StaffThanks for reaching back out to me to me (@Pazmoto)! If you wish to avoid importing members through a .csv file, you could also change the email of that member by clicking on that member's name ➡️ going into their account tab & clicking on (change) next to the email on the top to an email of your choice. I’ve just mentioned that you can now bulk-import members, so as to choose the option that best suits your needs .I hope that my tip above is-even slightly- helpful in accomplishing the task at hand & please let me know under this discussion in case you have more questions about it. Wishing you a wonderful March ahead!
