Not receiving 6 digit verification code
I have been trying to access my dropbox account for the past month and have not received any 6 digit access code emails or any password reset emails, or for that matter any emails from Dropbox. I pay a monthly subscription fee so I don't think my account has been shut down as I have seen in other threads. I NEED these files!
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 SirliK, thanks for the nudge here. I've just sent you an email to look further into this internally.
Please have a look at your inbox and we'll take it from there.
- bgbogabi3 years agoNew member | Level 2I have the exact same problem. No emails received. I’m finding it hard that there is no one to actually talk to about any issues.

Hi Jimi14, I can only create a ticket using the email address linked to your Community profile.
It's not the same as the one you mentioned though. I just created the ticket on my end for you, I'll see you there!

I'm going to try very hard not to vent so here goes.
Once again I've been having difficulty logging into a business account (which I manage for a sports club). I go through the motions of "checking the cat in the box/checking the traffic light etc" and I get to "we're going to send a 6 digit code to the registered email address" which never arrives (no it's not in junk). So you get to this useless Chat Bot which prompt a question and my response is "I can't log in" which just goes around and around and tells me I need to login to a paid account (dah!!). Then I try to raise a ticket which tells me they'll get back to me within 24 hours which is no good to me at all. I've searched for a phone number but that is just as pointless. The only glimmer of hope is a delayed response from the Facebook page. What I need is some method to get even a modicum of support from DropBox that I can rely on. In the mean time, my client is waiting patiently for me to sort their problems out. So I guess my question is "what can I do? I'm dead in the water (again)".
