Hi DK57, welcome to our Community!

 

I understand your concern over your files on your account.

 

In general, if you don't have access to the email address associated with the Dropbox account, then it won't be possible to reset the password for the account.

 

Do you have the desktop app installed on your machine by any chance, and signed into that account?

 

Let me know more!
