Hello,
Is it possible to delete a personal dropbox account and after some days open a new dropbox account based on the same email ?
I was thinking to delete mine, and re-create it from scratch taking advantage of a promotional offer (free 100Gb for a year long) given by my new brand Windows laptop: no problem with that? or should I create another email to take advantage of that offer?
Thanks

Thanks Walter for confirming, I will do so!
Hi again,
I just lowed my Business plan to normal and Dropbox confirms this plan change is scheduled at the end of my Business cycle (16/12), but will it be still the case if I delete my account before?
Otherwise I can wait until the 16/12 and then delete my account but will I be able to log in Dropbox if my current company will disable my profesional email in only 3 days (beginning December) ?
I am wondering if I can keep logging in Dropbox if meanwhile my email does not exist anymore (I am sure that I will be able as that email is just a 'username' but I prefer to doublecheck in case of)
Thanks for confirming!
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.
