If you have another active device already linked to your account you may be able to gain access to your Dropbox. If not, then you'll need access to the email address associated with the account.

Hello. I am having the same problem. I have another Dropbox account with very important photos of a trip I took with someone who is no longer with us and I cannot access them. The email that I used, I don't have access to anymore, and I don't have access to the old phone number either. Please help me get back to my old Dropbox account. I've even signed up with this new account right now to pay so I can hopefully have access to my cherished photos again. Please help.

3 years agoSorry to hear about this, rickyx1313.
When was the last time you accessed this account? Could it be more than 12 months?
And is your password also expired on that account, do you remember receiving such an email at any point?

Keep in mind that if you haven't accessed the account for more than a year, it may have been deleted due to inactivity.
