It is very unlikley you will be able to access the account without access to either a device (mobile possibly?) with Dropbox installed already OR the email.

Hi Guys,
Can someone help to know how to update my email address since there is no option available?
I'm just requesting to validate the one I set and I don't anymore have access to that one. I even forgot the password and there is no way to recover the account as all the available options suggested are not affordable.
Thanks.

Just to be clear, you've forgotten the password to your Dropbox account and no longer have access to the email registered with the account?
If so, then it's not possible to sign in to the account. You'll need access to the email address in order to receive the password reset information. Your best option will be to contact your email provider and see if they can reactivate your email address.
