Students: Checking for an Existing Personal Dropbox Account
This guide shows you the steps to check if you have an existing personal Dropbox account. This is especially important to check if you have an existing personal Dropbox account tied to an @csu.fullerton.edu email address as you will run into issues in signing up for a CSUF Student Dropbox for Business account if you already have a personal Dropbox tied to your @csu.fullerton.edu email account. You may also use this same process to check for a personal Dropbox tied to a personal email address.
NOTE: This process may take up to 10 minutes if you have an existing account.
