I had an old Dropbox account, but I don't know which email address it was linked to.
Hello,
I've had my current Dropbox account for over 10+ years, but before I made this one I also had another Dropbox account. I've tried to log in with all the email addresses I know of but I still haven't managed to find this one.
The only thing I do have, is the User ID from sharing a public image many years ago, the image link no longer works but I do have the URL which contains the User ID in the form of: dropbox.com/u/XXXXXXX/image-name.png
Is there anything I can do to locate the email address associated with this Dropbox account?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

The only way to locate it would be to check emails received to see if you can find it. There isnt a way to reverse lookup I'm afraid - even support cannot do it.
As a side note, when did you last log on? If it was over 12 months the data would have been removed by now I'm afraid due to inactivity.
