4 years agoHey HTP, let's look into this together!
As a first step, I suggest you take a look into this helpful Help Center article.
If you have access to your Dropbox account through a connected device, you can also temporarily disable 2FA.
Once you're logged into the app, you can then enable it from scratch.
Give this a go, and let me know how it goes.

Hi Lori,
Thanks for your recommendation. Actually I have 2 dropbox accounts: 1 normally used on my phone and another one (the one I am using to post here) is used on my laptop. So, I do not have connected device so that cannot disable 2FA.
Kindly advise how to do.
Brgds,

Thanks for replying back to me, Hai!
Did you follow the steps shown in the Help Center article I provided in my previous post?
If so, did you have trouble with any of the steps HTP?- HTP4 years agoExplorer | Level 3
Hi Lori,
As mentioned in my previous post, I don't have connected device for that account, only logged in on my phone. Now I don't receive verification code to re-active my account and therefore, cannot disable 2FA
