How can I become the team admin when the admin has left and didn't leave the password?
Hello
The administrator of our Dropbox for Business left and we cannot contact him so the password has gone forever.
How can we make a team member become the team administrator?
Thank y...

Hello Jay
We tried redirecting the emai of the old administrator to me (as an alias); then i tried to change the password of the old admin (forgot dropbox password) but I never received the email about the password change.
So I think that I should
-- open a new dropbox business
-- Transfer the data
-- Close the old account.
My question are:
What could be the reason why I did't receive the reset password email?
How can I dismiss the old dropbox business; who have I to write to
Thank you and best regards
Jay

6 years agoThe password reset emails are sent from no-reply@dropbox.com, so make sure that it is whilelisted and added as a contact to ensure it doesn't go into spam.
Regarding cancelling the old Dropbox Business team, assuming you have the transaction details, you can get in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.
You can do this by logging into your account, clicking this support link and providing as much info as possible.
Keep me posted!
