This How.com.vn teaches you how to change the email address connected to your Dropbox account when you’re using an iPhone or iPad.
Steps
Open Safari on your iPhone or iPad. You’ll need to access Dropbox.com in a web browser, as changing your email address isn’t possible in the app. Safari is the compass icon that’s usually on the home screen.
Navigate to https://www.dropbox.com. Type the URL into the address bar and tap the Go key on the keyboard. If you’re not already logged into your Dropbox account, log in now.
Scroll down and tap Desktop version. It’s a link all the way at the bottom of the page. The page will now reset and display as though you’re using a computer.
Tap your profile image. It’s at the top-right corner of the screen. A menu will drop down.
Tap Settings.
Tap Edit next to your email address. It’s in the “Personal email” section.
Enter and confirm your new email address. Type the address exactly the same into the first two boxes on the screen.
Enter your password on the third line. If it’s already filled in there’s no need to make any changes.
Tap Update email. Dropbox will send a verification message to the new email address. You’ll have to click the link in the email to continue the change.
Open the email from Dropbox. If you don’t see it in your inbox, check the spam folder.
Tap Verify your email. You’ll now be redirected to Safari, where you’ll be prompted to log into Dropbox.
Enter your password and tap Sign in. Your old email address is still in the first field, but don’t worry about that. You will soon see an “email verified” screen. The next time you sign into Dropbox, use the new email address instead of the old one.Advertisement
