Changing Email: says email already taken.
Like many others, I am having trouble changing the email on my dropbox as it says the new email I want to use is already taken.
I have tried to get access to the account associated with the new email as suggested, but when I try to change the password, Dropbox says it will send the email to that address if the address has an account -- and it does not send the email. Also, if I try to log in with that email address, Dropbox asks me to go through setting up an initial account. The same thing happens if I try to log in with that google account.
What's going to happen if/ when my old email goes away completely? Will I lose all access to my dropbox? Should I start saving everything to some other cloud storage system?
