Not receiving 6 digit verification code

I’m really sorry to hear about this, daylef. 

For how long has this been going on? Is this the first time that you’ve tried to contact our support team, or did you manage to log a ticket with them in the past? 

If the latter, can you please send me any ticket numbers you may have, so that I can look into this?

Hi Nancy

I haven't created a support ticked as I can't log in. Previously ticket #22754874 was created. On that occasion it was a remote laptop (Team Viewer). I've tried to contact via Facebook but that isn't particularly successful other than to pass the problem to someone else. I should probably add that I responded to you via email as I couldn't log in via user and password as it directed me to the emailed 6 digit code. The only way I could log in was via Google which was also convoluted but successful. I have since contacted Telstra (Bigpond email provider and if you're not from Australia you won't understand how ineffective they are) to see if there was some reason they may be blocking the code email but the default answer is "they'll get to me in 3 to 5 days".

The issue is the lack of ability to get help when needed. That and other issues has forced me to evaluate other providers as I have clients who are relying on me.  

Hope you can help

Hi daylef, sorry to hear about that! 

I was able to locate your previous ticket number, and it seems that our agent got back to you. 

However, the ticket was closed due to inactivity, since you didn't respond back to the agent working on your case. I opened a new one for you, and I'll see you there. 

Thanks a bunch!

The reason I didn't respond is that I can't log in (it always prompts me for a 6 digit code that I never receive). What I have discovered is that I can sign in through Google but that is convoluted in that I have to sign out of my default account and into this one. Then of course I have to reverse that when I'm finished.  

Is there any chance of someone responding. I was told a new ticket was opened but we seem to have come to an abrupt end.

Dayle...  

Dayle, I checked our system, and I can see that you recently replied back to our support agent. Please give them some time to review your case, and they’ll get back to you in the same email thread.

OK will do. What is a reasonable time frame for a response from support bearing in mind I'm unable to contact them directly?

Dayle... 

Hey daylef - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that you can see all about our support team's response times in this Help Center article.

I hope this helps a tad and let us know if you have anything to add in the meantime. 

Thanks Walter

However. While Drobox Family would offer enough tools for me to get some support, the fundamental problem was I couldn't log in, hence the subject title. Without that, I cannot get Community Forums or Live Chat. Email did function but not terribly responsive or contiguous. My position is to offer IT support for a sports club and I elected to include Dropbox in their document archive and live data. While the archive access is not necessarily an immediate problem the live data certainly is. If I'm unable to provide adequate service to them, my only option is to change plans yet again or review our options with Dropbox entirely. My general opinion of Dropbox has certainly diminished in light of all this.

Hi, I'm trying to restore my old Dropbox account. I remeber my user and my password but I'm not receiving my 6 numbers code to get into my account.

please help me.
