How can I change the email associated with onedrive?

Question

Currently, I have two onedrive accounts in one computer. One is assigned to personal email and the other to my previous company's email. However, for the one associate with the previous company, I also paid myself. As I have already left the company, how can I replace the company's email with my own email? Onedrive doesnt allow as it stated that I already have personal email account.

Thanks for your kind support,

Best regards,

Napee

Hello @Finn Lancs, Based on the information you provided, I understand that you are currently using a OneDrive account associated with your former company and would like to change the email address to your personal email account.

To better understand the situation, could you please confirm how the OneDrive subscription is being paid for? If this is a business or company subscription, only the organization's administrators can manage licenses and billing. Were you previously an administrator of the organization? If so, when did you leave the company, and approximately how many users were in the organization?

Since you are no longer working for the company, I strongly recommend backing up all important files to your personal OneDrive account as soon as possible. If you are personally paying for the license, you may also want to consider canceling it. Please keep in mind that the organization's administrators can disable or remove your account at any time, which could result in losing access to your data. For this reason, it is generally not recommended to continue storing personal files in a company-owned OneDrive account after leaving the organization.

For any further concern or update on this matte, please feel free to let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
