Deactivate two factor authentication

I have tried for months to get my two factor authentication deactivated but no one has had the decency from the Dropbox support to contact me!! I mean *PLEASE* JUST deactivate my authentication so I can log in like a normal human can... for gods sake.

I no longer have the devices to authenticate the two factor process so please help.

    If you no longer have the authentication devices, then you'll need to use the emergency backup codes that were given to you when you enabled two-step verification. Without them, there's no way to access the account. Dropbox will not disable two-step verification.
