Hi Megan!
There is no "update email address" button. It says:

If there's a typo in your email domain, I'm afraid there won't be much our team can do.
However, it's definitely a good thing that you still have access to this Dropbox account. Are you currently logged in to a desktop app?
If yes, you can download your files from Dropbox instead/copy them to another location on your computer and transfer them to a second Dropbox account under your correct email address. If you also have a large amount of data on Dropbox, you can upgrade that second account instead by inserting your billing info there.
