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.

You will need to log a ticket with Dropbox while not logged in - even to here so try an incognito browser and use the option to get account support from www.dropbox.com/support.
I have the email and the password. I attempted to log in on same laptop that I always use. Now all of a sudden I have to enter a 2 step verification code. The email address is no long in existence so I can't receive the code. I managed to get to the form that asked security questions, and I believe I answered all correctly except for one question: year and month you signed up. Well, that was over 15 years ago. I have NO idea what year or month. There HAS to be a way to open this again as I desperately need some personal legal documents that are inside the drop box. Since I can't get the email address back again, how can I access my dropbox again?

You can try contacting Support, but without access to the email account you may not be able to gain access to the Dropbox account. You need to maintain an active email address on your account so you can receive password resets and one-time security codes used during sign in.
To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox address, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
