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.

Hi Keyonkk, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The 6 digit security code is used when you access the Dropbox account from a different location for security purposes.
Without access to the email address itself, it wouldn't be possible to read this code. Is it not possible to recreate the email address and attempt to login again?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay
I asked email support, they need me to to give them Phone No. , last 2 email sent within 7 days, rescue email account .
I won't remember because the email account was created 10 years ago and I didn't use more than 5 years.
