You can try contacting Support, but without access to the email account it may not be possible to gain access to the Dropbox account. You need to maintain an active email address on your account so you can receive password resets and one-time security codes used during sign in.

To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

While Dropbox may not help you gain access to the account, if it's on a paid subscription they will at least cancel any future charges. Also, if you don't gain access, the account will automatically be deleted after a year of inactivity.

Hi, Rich,

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, I have tried all these avenues, and after a lot of wading through help screens the only answer I could find was “contact your ESP”. I wish there was a way of deleting an account without needing to sign in.

The only method is to just leave the account alone and it will be deleted automatically after a year of inactivity.
