I am locked out of old account since I don't have access to the email address that's linked with it

It is unlikley you will be able to regain access to the account unfortunately. 

You need to contact Support via www.dropbox.com/support while not logged in - even to here, so use an incognito window.

the problem is i cant actually email a human about my problem

Hey Padstar - did you try getting in touch with our support team as Mark suggested?

If you did, you can share your ticket ID with us so that we can look it up in our system too,  if needed. 

they suggest getting intouch with my email provider to try and get into the email acc but ive tried and cant get into it the only way it can be fixed is if the email is updated through asking me security questions/ i dont know  :(

I see, do you have a ticket number for us to look up in our system Padstar? 

 dont because i wasnt acually able to speak to anyone

yes that would be great do you want me to send you the details like email etc

Hey Padstar, I just sent you an email to the address linked to your Community profile, so we'll continue there!
