Hey JulieH1, thanks for your post.

 

Is it possible that instead of changing your email, you just set up a new account, under the new email address?

 

I'd suggest opening a private browsing/incognito window and try to sign in to Dropbox with your old address, to see what happens.

 

Let me know what you find!
