Wrong user name in my profile

Question

I received an email saying my drop box was full but couldn't remember my password so I did a reset but now when I log in the user name that appears in not mine! Plus there are no files at all. It's like I'm logged into someone else's account (which makes me nervous).... Help!

Hey @ljrkrispes, thanks for reaching out to our Community and happy Monday!

Are you sure that you created a new account and didn't just sign in to an already existing one?

The name that appears on the email that you received, should be the name that was assigned to the account.

Can you send us a screenshot of what the email said? Just make sure to hide any personal info, like your email address.

I set up new account today with an ol email [personal information removed per the Community's Guidelines].   Pretty specific.   When I got the greeting for the new account it said Hello Rhonda and thinks my name is Rhonda [removed].  How do I find out if there is someone else who can access my new account?  Where did Rhonda [removed] come in?   Thanks...  Linda

Hi @gcolmer, the name on the account is what you enter on the Dropbox site.

Since it sounds like you have two separate email addresses, you can change the name on both accounts to whatever you wish, from this page. If you're concerned, you could also try resetting the email passwords in case someone else has access to that.
