When I click on my avatar and go to My Settings, there's no longer a General tab.
How do I change my email address?
- WalterDropbox StaffYou should be able to do this on your account's settings online.
Can you give it a go and let us know if it did the trick for you Kazu T.?

This doesn't work. the site never sends an email to the address I nominate as my new email (it says the change is pending but never changes it) so I can't confirm the new email address.

Hi Riccardo47, it can take a little time for an email to be sent to verify the new address.
Were you able to change the email on your account?
