    Nancy,

     

    I have been locked out of my primary account since SUNDAY, FOUR DAYS with no access to ESSENTIAL files. 

     

    TICKET NUMBER 22002265. 

     

    I Do not get updates, I CAN NOT get a manager escalation, I can not phone in. We used DROPBOX for years WITHOUT issue, Now I have to consider moving ALL of my clients to another platform that has reliable support.

     

    Can you ESCALATE my issue ASAP to access my account. 

     

    The exact error is

     

    Two-step verification text message couldn’t be sent. <a href=“/help/364”>Help</a>

     

    My log in account is in the case ID.

     

    I am DESPERATE and NOTHING I have done in 5 days to get support to resolve has worked. It has gone to "it has been escalated" 5 days ago to me being GHOSTED with ZERO updates and ZERO resolve.

        Dear Hannah,
        I am also facing this issue when I try to log into my account on the web browser.

        In fact, most of the dropbox accounts that I am administrating  ( I am the IT administrator for my company's dropbox accounts) faced the same problem when I tried to login using the web browser. It is an intermittent problem which states : 

        Two-step verification text message couldn’t be sent. <a href=“/help/364”>Help</a>

        My ticket number is Ticket #23092488: DB: 2 Step verification 

        Please assist, thank you!
