2 years agoHi toni_kamins thanks for bringing this to our attention.
I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.
You can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link. From there you should be able to contact support. Make sure to enter the same email you use to login to Dropbox.
Once you get a ticket ID from the automated response, please let me know the number here so I can locate it in our system
