Use this interactive demo to learn how to update your login email address in Dropbox.

Quick summary

Changing your email address in Dropbox requires verifying your identity via a password reset before the new email can be saved. This step-by-step process ensures your Dropbox account stays secure during any contact information update.


Steps

  1. Go to Dropbox and log in with your current email.
  2. Click your profile icon (bottom-left) and select Settings.
  3. Under the General tab, click Edit next to Personal email.
  4. Click Send email to set your password.
  5. Go to your email inbox and click Reset password.
  6. Type your new password and submit to confirm.
  7. Return to Dropbox and navigate back to Settings.
  8. Under the General tab, click Edit again next to Personal email.
  9. Type your new email address and your Dropbox password.
  10. Click Update email and confirm the change to make your new email active on your Dropbox account.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping your Dropbox account email current is essential for account recovery, security alerts, and uninterrupted access to your files. Dropbox requires a password verification step before allowing an email change, which protects users from unauthorized account takeovers. Understanding this process helps users avoid confusion and complete the update efficiently without losing access to their stored data. This demo is especially useful for anyone who has changed their primary email provider or needs to update personal information tied to their Dropbox login.
