Warning

If you want to sign up for a UNC Charlotte Dropbox for Business account but are already using your @uncc.edu University email for a personal account, we recommend you change your personal Dropbox account email to a non-@uncc.edu address first. Please follow the instructions in this FAQ to do so. If you don't change the email address first, follow the instructions below:

Note

A "personal" Dropbox account is an account you create, even if it is only being used for work purposes. It is not managed by UNC Charlotte. It is very important to now use your UNC Charlotte email address only for the University Dropbox for Business account. This helps prevent confusion and provide optimum security for work related files.

  1. Go to dropbox.charlotte.edu and click Sign Up.
  2. Log into the Web Auth screen using your NinerNET credentials and click Log In.
  3. Read the University Dropbox agreement and click Accept.
  4. You will see a screen linking to Dropbox FAQs and stating an invitation email was sent to your University email account.

    If you choose this option, your personal files will now be in your UNC Charlotte Dropbox for Business account which is managed by the University.

  8. Change the email address to your personal Dropbox account by selecting that option.
