1 month agoHi Ian_Hein, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The options that are available to you are those listed in the email you received, and in the image you attached.
The first is to upgrade to a Dropbox team in order to add the users with a business email address and then no other changes are needed with their accounts, and the other option is for those users to change those emails to a personal email address.
Currently, there aren't any other options to these two choices.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Jay, is this a result of the company already having a Business account associated with the same email domain and having invite enforcement enabled, or is this a change in policy of Dropbox allowing free accounts to be used for business purposes in general?
