    hi Nancy 

    Thank you for your reply, I deleted the drop account which I wanted to change to, and then

    went to the other Dropbox account to update the email address.

Hi Raymond Lim, and thanks for your post. 

If your work Dropbox account got upgraded, it means that you were logged in to it at the moment of the upgrade.

Did you wish to delete that Dropbox account previously? If not, you don’t need to do this necessarily. 

I can log a ticket for you to the email address you see here and I’ll check if there’s another option internally, since we don’t have any account visibility on the forum.

Let me know if you’d like that.
