Can't access email associated with my account
The email associated with one of my accounts was disabled. So when I try to sign in to the account and Dropbox sends a 6-digit code to that email address, I can't get it. Therefore, I can't get into ...

Hi Megan,
I am having the same issue as the user above. My college, Villanova, gave all students "Villanova Gmail For Life" - therefore, I've been using my [removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] email as my personal email post-college, and as my account login username / email associated with the account. However, Villanova reneged on the email for life, and on November 15, 2022, officially expired and deleted all Villanova.edu emails - including mine. Thus, I can't access my Dropbox account to cancel my subscription (I have an existing subscription under my new personal email address here, but the Villanova.edu Droppbox account is still active - so I'd like to cancel the duplicative 2nd account.
Can you email me so we can get this done? Thanks!

I would like to cancel a subscription as well to an old account that I keep getting renewed subscriptions for. Again, I do not use this particular dropbox account as it was associated with a former client that no longer has the association with the email provider that my email account was associated with. I know my email for the Dropbox account, but I can't remember the password. When I try to reset the password the code is sent to an email that no longer exists and I have no way of retrieving it. Please help me to deactivate this account, because you charging me for an account that is no longer needed or used. Thank you
