Sooo What you're saying is that we're hopeless. Okay, thanks. Dropbox sucks.

Right, thank you! Appreciated it. I never used mobile browser, so it won't work for me either. I'm still locked out and the ticket number is useless.

Dropbox explicitly states that in the PRO Business account their customers get 180-day accident, theft, and disaster recovery. Where is this in pratice? I paid and did not get this benefit...this is not fair.

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I am so frustrated with Dropbox, I am definitely not continuing as their customer. They have no compassion and understanding for people, terrible customer service - I'm still waiting for a response from their support team. And on top of that, I had automatic billing set up - so now I will have to cancel my credit card just so I don't get charged again.

I was able to access my account settings via mobile browser fallowing Здравко's solution.

Hey msfowler, thanks for reaching out.
I moved your post here, where others have expressed a similar issue.
If you have a linked device, you can try updating the password and email from there, as mentioned in this article.
However, if you're still having trouble, you can check out Walter's post for some additional info. - msfowler5 years agoNew member | Level 2
I don't have access to the email associated with a different account, but I also don't know the password. Is there a way for me to get access in order to update my email?

I'm logged in to the Dropbox app on a mobile device.
...That's your chance to regain access to the account. 😉 Use "Connect a computer" feature in settings part of your mobile application. To work, you must have verified your account already! Follow the on screen instructions and you would be able regain access to the account. Once logged in, change your email address (here, click "Edit" next to the current email) to actual one. Now you should be able reset your password. 🙂
Hope this helps.
PS: "Computer" don't have to be a real computer! You can use any device working with supported web browser - including mobile. ✌ For better security, on device which is not your property, use private browsing mode or incognito.
- MT-Tester5 years agoHelpful | Level 6Hi Simba47,
I'm already testing another similar platform. And it will take thousands of years for them to rethink their own security measures (if they want I can suggest some new security measures. Is there any feature suggestions thread?).

It's not working (as expected), I don't get any notifications. Sorry, but can any real Dropbox employee help me?
