Does anyone know how to update account details with your date of birth

Hi andy, Due to recent regulations, you’ll be required to enter your date of birth starting September 1, 2021 to continue using Dropbox Family.

    Hi all, sorry for jumping in.

    I wanted to share the good news that the issue has been resolved.

    Our team has been working hard on the matter, and everything should be back to normal now.

    You can all enter your DOB, by following the link in the email that was sent.

    Thank you for your feedback and reports.

    Apologies for any frustration caused.

    I am a dropbox family plan user. When I logged into dropbox today on a computer that I havent used for a long time, it tells me to enter my birthday so i did what it told me to do, but then I forgot to check the year and I realized I have entered it wrongly to a year that is below dropbox user restriction and I have been told that the account will be locked in 2 days, how do I recover it?

      Hey Tam122, how are you today? 

       

      Would it be okay for me to send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this?

    I entered the wrong date for the age verification, im now told my account will be shut down in 48hrs, Dropbox says to contact support to prove

    age by sending documents, but i cannot find anyway of contacting a human support person.

     

    How do i remedy this situation?
