    Hey AlanAtaxia, sorry to see that you're having trouble changing your email address.

    Would it be possible that the email address you're trying to use, is already used by another Dropbox account?

    Can you open a window on another browser or a private browsing window and try to sign in to the Dropbox page with that email and let us know what happens?

    Thanks in advance!
