Hello Box Community,


I'm trying to update the email address associated with my Box account, but the available options suggest linking a personal email, which appears to be a paid service. 


Is there a way to update my email address without linking a personal account or upgrading my plan? Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you for your assistance!


Best regards,  
Morty Petersen
