I logged into Dropbox with Google and now my old account has disappeared.
Drop box prompted to log in again. I used to login with 4 digit pin. Suddenly, Dropbox asked to log in with email id and password. I got security code on my email id but Dropbox was not accepting it ...

Hello Rich,
Thanks for your response.
What you have mentioned is absolutely correct.
But , Yesterday, all of sudden, Dropbox asked to enter email and password to login in stead of entering PIN which was usual.
It didn’t accept it and sent several times pin for verification of email id. But those pins didn’t work.
Unfortunately, i thought of login through google and all these mess happened and now i am not able to log in to my original account.
I also tried to delete application and reinstalled it but new account is opening.
Now question here is , how Dropbox can allow two different accounts with same email id.
My original account which I am trying to log in was made in year 2016.
Pl try to assist further if you can .
Best Regards

2 years agoHi from me as well, rajeshdpujara! Can you try to log out of your Dropbox account once again and sign back in by using your email address, like you originally did?
Are you still being asked to insert a new code that’s sent to your email address (this is a one-time code that’s separate to the 4-digit PIN you mentioned previously)?
If you still get that one-time code and Dropbox doesn’t accept it, I'd like a screenshot of what you see exactly on your end; just make sure to cover your email address first.

Thanks a lot for your response.
I already tried logging out and log in again.
No new code is getting generated. Simply getting into new account. Nothing else…
I really surprised that how come one can create two accounts with one email id..
I couldn’t find any email id to raise this issue directly with Dropbox customer support team.
