Can't access email to get 6-digit code
I can login successfully, but needs me to check 6-digit code in email.
Before immigration, login dropbox never needs me to check 6-digit code in email.
After immigration, it needs me to check 6-digit code in email. (same computer)
My email account was disabled (long time no use and I forgot the password), I can't login to my email to check the 6-digit code.
I only want to login Dropbox without check email 6-digit code, so what can I do?
Thanks
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've been through the steps in the article. I was able to come up with the password on the account, now it sends a code to verify to the non working email. So I assume that there must be a way to cancel the account and make sure it never renews?
Thanks!!

Hi, previously I have no problem login into my drobox account. However, nowadays it kept prompted me a verification code sent to a number that does not belong to me. How can I remove this verification code to access the folder? I am the admin console.

Hi williana, thanks for posting here, I hope you're doing well!
This case might need some account-specific info, in order for us to proceed. Can I reach out to you via email, in order for us to have a closer look?
Let me know!

It seems like the only option I have at this point since the security model is short sighted enough no to allow any sort of recovery solution, now I will have to lose all of the information I have stored there. My email is [removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] This is allow me to cancel and obtain a refund for the subscription which just renewed?

Let's see, I just sent you an email, to see if we can figure out the access issue and we'll go from there.
Make sure to get back to me, when you have a chance.

I have received notification that a 6 digit code has been sent, but I am not receiving anything. I have tried multiple times with two different accounts and nothing is being received. I cannot access my Dropbox account as a result and have been trying for almost 3 hours.

Hi NicoleK1, how are you today?
Could you try adding no-reply@dropbox.com to your contacts list and try accessing your account again? Could you also check the junk or spam folder on your email account?
Let me know more!

Hi Megan,
I have tried both of those options (added no-reply@dropbox.com as a contact and checked my junk/span folder) and neither have worked. I have been sent the 6 digit code in the past (about a week or so ago), but have tried today with two separate Dropbox accounts (emails) and I have not received any notification for either accounts. Note, I tried resending multiple times and accessing through different browsers for the past 3.5 hours.

In this case, can I send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this?
