Thank you, France_V for the help.  However, the "Add More Emails" option shown here:

https://community.box.com/t5/How-to-Guides-for-Account/Manage-Account-Settings/ta-p/20022#loginandemail

is not visible on my computer or on my phone. 

I have a free account, thank you, very generous to offer that.  The email it was originally linked to is no longer working, don't know why. 

Here is what that looks like on this computer.  I deleted the email & added the notes in red.  Thanks again. 

Hi ,

Welcome to the Box Community and thanks for your first post in the forum! I'd love to help!

Free users will need to add or "Link Personal Email" to be able to change your primary email address in Box.

To add an email address:

• Click Link Personal Email.
• Enter your new email address and click the Save button.
• 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.
• Once your secondary email is linked and verified, you will have the option to "Make it Primary".To make a secondary address your primary address, just click Make Primary button.

Hope that helps! Be sure to read our guidelines, Subscribe to content you like, and complete your profile on the community.

Thanks again, France_V. 

The "Link Personal Email" showed a cautionary popup, now that I understand it's harmless, I'll go ahead with it. 

Hi Taka,

I have the same issue as Taka Taira-Kaplan did. I tried to link another email address and got the 

"Oops — that person already has a Box account
Upgrade your account to add a collaborator."

message.

So I tried to log in (using google authentication) with that other email address and I got the new user onboarding flow - so it doesn't appear that it had an account after all - but now it does. So I deleted that account new account and now I'm back to the Oops message on the original account.

I need to change my primary email address since I no longer have that one, but can not find anyway in my account section to do it? Your Help sections say to go to account and notifications, but there are no buttons, or links there to change it. One article says to contact the Box Administrator, but I cannot find out how to do that, another like here says to create a secondary email address, but then it says you have to have your primary email to verify it and if I no longer have my primary email how can I verify it? This is Crazy!
