Hi Megan! 

There is no "update email address" button. It says: 

 

"Verify your email address
Verify your email address at x@xx.xx to share folders and ensure your account can be recovered."
 
I tried to send an email, hoping it will give me an updating option, but it just sent it to this (non-existent) email address, and that's all. 😞 I can't change it in this way. Can I change it somewhere else?

Hey again, Z11! 

 

If there's a typo in your email domain, I'm afraid there won't be much our team can do. 

 

However, it's definitely a good thing that you still have access to this Dropbox account. Are you currently logged in to a desktop app? 

 

If yes, you can download your files from Dropbox instead/copy them to another location on your computer and transfer them to a second Dropbox account under your correct email address. If you also have a large amount of data on Dropbox, you can upgrade that second account instead by inserting your billing info there.
