    Hey Jay, 

    I had previously added the no-reply@dropbox.com email to my contacts and that did not solve the problem. I was able to pull out my old computer, thankfully, and the code was being sent as a notification and not as an email. So I am in now but if I had not been able to resurrect my computer from the dead things would still be a problem!

    Hey albertism, sorry to hear about that!

     

    Do you still have access to the email address linked to your old Dropbox account? 

     

    If I were you, I'd also take a look at Sam's post right here, in order to make sure you've tried all possible steps. 

     

    If none of these work, let me know!

        Thanks for giving that a go, albertism!

         

        Can we log a ticket for you then, and send it over to this email address?
