When I was a graduate student, I created a Box account with my university email address.
However, I will be graduating from graduate school in about a month, which means that the email address (email account) provided by the university will expire.
Therefore, I would like to change my Box email address to my personal email address (icloud.com), but I don't know how to do it.


After logging in, when I go to "Account Settings" in the top right, I can add my personal email address to the linked email addresses, but I cannot change the "main" address.
Could you please tell me in more detail how to make the change?
Or is it possible for your company to make the change?
