Can I still access my shared folders after changing my email?

Hi,

I would like to change my email address in my Basci Dropbox account.
Do I still have access to the externally shared folders afterwards or does the external partner who shares files and folders with me have to give a new share to my new email again?

 

Many Thanks in advance!

Susan

    You'll still have access to all of the shared folders you're currently a member of. Any new folder invitations would need to be sent to the new address.
