Do you still know the email and password? If so just log on.
If not you almost certainly cannot unless you have access to at least the email account.
When you mention the phone does that mean you set up 2 factor security? If so do you have the recovery codes for it as well? You cannot get around that if you dont.
- So here whats happen i had an iphone and lost it when i get a new phone now i couldn't open my email at all i forgot my password for everything and now i have a new email and new phone number and new account.

Hope it’s OK to jump in, Yaecob omer.
If the issue is that you can’t access your old email address, and you’ve also forgotten your Dropbox password, then you’ll need to contact your ESP to help you regain access to your old email. This way, you can reset your Dropbox password.
Without it, I’m afraid there’s not much more we can do on our end.

My account was stolen Bayrem I would like to return it
- No it's not hacked or stolen.

Sorry to hear about this, Yaecob omer.
If your goal is to regain access to a Dropbox account that is using an old email address you can no longer access, I would suggest reaching out to our support team directly.
To do this, you will need to open a private browsing/incognito window on your browser and go to this page.
Select your issue type, fill out the form and submit your request.
I hope this helps!
