hello Megan, I got the same issue and I didn't receive any reset password in my inbox. This is work-related dropbox so I'm kind of freak out now. Can you fast forward steps to help me directly? my contact email is - My dropbox email is - and I can access both of my emails.
Thanks.

Hi there. I have been trying to reset my password for an email that I haven't used for close to a year. There are two things are happened and I don't know what to do or who to reach out to:
1. I didn't receive the reset password link in my email.
2. I tried to redo it, and it kept showing "too many attempts. try few minutes later"
Can someone reach out to me and help me out with resetting one of my dropbox account?
Best

Thanks for the comment here, xxyyzz and sorry to see you're having trouble.
Can you try to reset your password again, from a different connection or network, to see if that helps?

Don't worry, xxyyzz, we'll try our best to help you out.
Are you not receiving the password reset email, on the address associated with the account you're using here, on the Community? Or is it a different Dropbox account?
Can we send you an email, so we can look into this?
- xxyyzz4 years agoExplorer | Level 4
It is a different dropbox account. I can't log in and do anything. So, therefore, I used my personal dropbox account log-in to reach out for help.
Please do send me an email, and I can let you know which email my dropbox account can't receive the reset link.
