    Hey RaymondvA, thanks for checking! 

     

    Is it possible that the new email address you're using when trying to update your old one with, has a Dropbox account linked to it?

My new email has a dropbox account associated with it but how do I get the amount I paid for storage to be transferred to the other account?

Hey dgisle, let me jump in here! 

 

Did you try to contact our Support, like my colleague Jay suggested? Do you have a ticket number reference from your Communication with them?

    I need an easy way to call someone.  I have spent hours on this and it could likely be solved in five minutes with someone on the phone.  There does not appear to be any way to directly contact someone at Dropbox.  Thinking of cancelling everything because it is not easy to use.

    Hi dgisle, currently, we only provide incoming phone support for team admins of Dropbox Business subscriptions. 

     

    Please could you try the steps I posted previously in order to contact the support team and let us know the ticket ID from the automated response you get.

    Hey dgisle, it seems that your email was caught by our spam filter.

     

    Therefore I opened a ticket on my end for you, I'll see you there.
