    Paddy123, is there any chance you have any devices that are still linked to that Dropbox account (via a desktop/mobile app)? 

     

    If yes, please check their notifications as the one-time code may be there.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

I have so many files and photos that are dearly important to me... There is 0 way to access an account without that email access? There is NO way to override that with a live representative or some internal support system? 

 

It is your own software, how is there no way to verify my identify besides emailing an email that someone is attempting to change...? A live representative would not be able to assist?

Asfiya, I’ve logged a ticket for you, so please check your email address and get back to me.

 

ARCHIVOfis, can I open a ticket for you as well, and send it over to this email address?

 

Finally, rgcart17, can you please double check if you have any devices that are still linked to your Dropbox account? If yes, see if the code can be found in your Notifications. 

 

If not, let me know and I can message you to this email address.
