Type in new email, confirm email (using new email), put in existing dropbox password
click on update email
First instance of new email is surrounded by a redline box and has a small x in a circle below it. (update email button is still enabled but clicking on it again results in the same response)

...and, no, I am not on this page when I am trying to make the change, I am directly in my dropbox account, not on the forum

    Hey Lsballew, is it possible that the email you're trying to use, is already used by another Dropbox account?

     

    Try logging in with that address and request a password reset; if a password reset email comes to that address, it means it's already linked to another Dropbox account.
