I’m trying to add a new email address and set it as the new default, but I’m unable to add any new email addresses. I keep getting “There was an error while trying to add ___ to your account.” (I removed my email address from the message.)

I was actually able to resolve the issue! I had downloaded Box and deleted on my laptop, and I think that somehow deleted my folders.

I am having this same issue, but I don’t understand how/how op’s solution works. Mine is saying “Oops — that person already has a Box account” even though I deleted the account associated with that email.
