You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I can't change my email address, why?
I just subcribed to Essential with an account registered with one email address...I would like to change it to another email but doesn't aloud me to do it. Always proposing to change password. The fact is the in my Dropbox Apps I am registered with another account and I would like to have the Essential on the same as the Apps.
Verifying email not working. It won't let me share content.
I have verified my email address multiple times and Dropbox will not let me share or copy a link and it keeps saying that I can't until my email address is verified. What can I do? I can't even chat with support because it says I have to verify my email address.
Wrong account maybe? Can't find files with new laptop
Hi - my mac has just expired and i can no longer accress it - so I installed the latest version of Dropbox onto a new laptop in the hope of downloading all my documents/files onto its hard drive - however there's nothing there.. Ive signed into my account alright but I'm wondering if having changed my email login a few years ago all my files are on a different account. I had no problem accessing my files on the old computer and as far as I can remember the login details are the same.. Obviously I can't check the settings on my old mac anymore - I'm at a loss of what to do next to gain access.. Cheers.. My account may be under my old email address, and I just tried to access the acount with that address and Dropbox said it has sent a code to that address - however - that email address is no longer in existence, so I can't ever get a hold of the code!!!!

I didn't get an "Out of space" email even though my notifications are on.
It has been set, but I didn't get an email about I'm running out of space, when it happened yesterday. I don't know why. I have checked my Gmail and nothing is in the Spam or Trash folder. There is no filter set for Dropbox emails.
I verified my email but it doesn't register as verified
I'm trying to share a folder through a link. It wants me to verify my email address. I've verified my email by clicking the link it sends me about 10 times now, but it still doesn't register as verified, even under my account settings. I'm unable to chat with support because I don't have access to it.Unable to change the name of a device
I am unable to change the name of a device (an iPad) that appears in the online Security panel of my account. On the iPad I delinked the device from my Dropbox account, then confirmed that it disappeared from the device list in the online Security panel. Then on the iPad I changed the device name using the prescribed method. I verified that the name had been changed in the Apple ID section of the iPad settings. Then using the Dropbox app on the iPad, I added the device to Dropbox again. It reappeared in the Security panel of my online account, but without the name change. So I am stumped. Changing the name of a device should be easy to do.
