I've sent you an email, Candacejack, please could you reply to it when you get a chance. - manual5 years agoExplorer | Level 4
My ticket finally got escalated to someone who is an "account security manager" at Dropbox, and after verifying my identity, they helped me with resetting my password, which removed the requirement for the 6-digit code as well.
If anyone from this thread is still trying to get through support, keep trying! Ask for an escalation if you feel like the ticket isn't going anywhere. I went through ~5 support agents before one of them finally escalated it.
- Candacejack5 years agoExplorer | Level 4manual thanks, I too was able to get my tickets resolved and now have access to my old photos
- Threeebeds4 years agoNew member | Level 2If I can somehow tag along here Iâm having the exact same issue as these users.
Canât access my original email address due to it being set up by my old college which has since run itself into the ground. All emails were closed by them when they shut their doors.
If yâall can help fast track this somehow/prevent a big uneccessry email back n forth like everyone else had to it would be appreciated so so much.
Other wise I guess I just gotta put on my Karen wig and throw a tantrum until they fold⊠donât really wanna tho.

Hi Threeebeds, let me see what I can do to help!
I checked, and it seems you've already been connected to one of our support agents.
The best thing you can do is to continue working on this with the specialized agent in order to see what the best way to continue is.
Thanks a lot. I'm here if you need anything.
