I can't access my email in order to get the 6-digit security code. What can I do?
I can login successfully, but needs me to check 6-digit code in email.
Before immigration, login dropbox never needs me to check 6-digit code in email.
After immigration, it needs me to check 6-digit code in email. (same computer)
My email account was disabled (long time no use and I forgot the password), I can't login to my email to check the 6-digit code.
I only want to login Dropbox without check email 6-digit code, so what can I do?
Thanks
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.

Hello Nancy! Nancy
I checked your post but I do not have any device linked to that account, so this doesn't solve my issue.
I have logged ticket as you instructed Ticket no #22896796.
Kindly help me with this issue.

Hello,
I have an old account under an old work email that was deactivated when I got left the company. I still remember the email and password, but since it's been so long DropBox sends a 6 digit verification code to that email that I need to enter before I sign in. Obviously I'm not able to access that email/code.
How can I gain access to that old account, or at least just the photos on it? I don't really need the account just the photos that were there.
Much thanks,
Oscar
