6 years agoDropbox will still allow you to log in with the email and password regardless if the email no longer works as long as the password is correct. If it isnt I'm afraid there is no way to recover that account.
Are you logged in on any devices at all?
- Adam496 years agoExplorer | Level 4It is still not letting me access my account as it is saying my password or email is incorrect. But I can’t get into that email address anymore as I have not used it for many years. Dow you know if there is a contact number where I can talk to an agent or someone from dropbox?

All your support entitlement is available at www.dropbox.com/support BUT I also know from here (you can search) where theyve said on numerous occasions if you do not have access to the email address you cannot gain access to the account. The email address is the only thing which identifies YOU as the account holder.
That is also explained here: https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/settings-sign-in/lost-access-email-cant-change-password
- Adam496 years agoExplorer | Level 4I can not access my email as this is very old email and I have tried many times to recover it with any information I can remember. Does Dropbox have agents to talk to directly or a contact number
