Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Anne McIntosh, thanks for joining the discussion here.
Is there a Dropbox account already associated with the new email address?
If not, you can just change the email address of your account through your account's settings online.
Otherwise, you could put all the content of one account inside a folder and share that folder with the new account as desired.
I hope this helps and please keep us posted on your progress, Anne.
Hi Anne; yes there is a Dropbox account associated with the new email. As I was setting up the new MAC and downloaded dropbox onto the desktop it must have picked up the business email and I gave it a password. . . don't ask me how. Anyway, the big thing is that I save all my docs to drop box. It's aggravating because if I upload the app to the MAC, no matter how many times I have tried it goes right to the other account that has nothing in it. So every time I save a doc now I have to open my original Dropbox account to add any doc. It is not seamless, very aggravating, and really an inconvenience. Maybe I have to consider another source of saving my docs.
