To change your primary email address, you should start by adding the new email address in your Box account. 

 

To add an email address:

  1. Login to the Box website, and click your profile/initials at the top right corner then select Account Settings
  2. Scroll down to Login & Email Addresses.
  3. Select one of the following options:
    • For paid accounts, click Link Email.
    • For free accounts, click Link Personal Email.
  4. Enter a valid email address.
  5. Click Save.

An email verification will be sent to the address you entered. Click the verification link in the email to confirm and add the alternate email to you account.

 

To make a secondary email address your primary email address:

  • Click Make Primary next to the email address you want as your primary email address.

 

Hope it helps, please let me know if you have questions!
