It is a personal Dropbox account. I am not sure if they've changed the email address yet.
I'm assuming it has not been changed, because we're getting emails forwarded from this employee's clients, and it is showing his company email address still.

The ticket number for this is #24476652. Please let me know if any further information is needed.
Thank you,
