Hi STEPHANEPOUR1 

 

The downgrade just relates to billing, so, you can delete before then but you'd lose the paid for benefits of that until then. 

 

You can still log in once your email address changes or is closed but personally I'd recommend changing the email on account to one you have access to before then because if for any reason (no matter how small) the password expires/its forgotten etc. you cannot get access to an account without access to the email address.

Thanks Mark,

 

I finally changed my profesional email (the one that will not exist anymore soon) with another personal one, I also lowed my Dropbox account to normal...that I will delete once I will quit my job.

 

Thanks for your excellent support!
