Switching back to my personal email as i'm leaving the company

Switching back to my personal email as i'm leaving the company

Hi all
I'll be leaving my company and i'll want to switch back to using my personal email.

My personal email is also being used for my other dropbox account...
So when i do this change, will i still have all the folders and files which was under my work email?
I'll gladly switch the subscription plan on my personal (gmail) one to the one that is same as my work email one (Dropbox Plus).

I'm sure this happens often to other users, but i just wanted to be sure this will not be too much of an issue.. or any possible issue that may arise from this?

Hi there @melvinlim - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

 

You should be able to achieve what you had in mind by following these steps.

 

If you need access to any folders that are located in your work account, you'll need to share them with your personal account once you swapped email addresses between your accounts.

 

I hope this helps!

Hello Walter

 

thank you for the link earlier,

i'm actually not using Dropbox team, just that this individual account is currently using my work email address to log in..

 

i was thinking of switching this Dropbox Plus subscription over to the Dropbox account that is linked to my gmail account

 

hope this makes sense what i'm trying to do..

The same steps apply in that case as well @melvinlim (you'll be doing this via the settings page on both accounts).

 

Just make sure to copy, move or share any content you'll be needing from your work account to your personal one before you swap your email addresses on the accounts and make sure that the 3rd email address you'll be using during the process is not associated with a Dropbox account.
