Hi,

So I have an dropbox account that I created a few years ago. I haven't used it until now, I know the email and password but dropbox says that my account security has expired and that I need to reset my password. Probably because I haven't used my account in a few years. The only problem is that I have deleted my gmail account some time ago and I cannot reset my password. I just want to download one video where my friends and I are gaming.

    Without access to the email or a device already logged in I'm afraid you cannot do anything to regain access.
