Thank you for this. The problem is that I don’t remember setting up two-factor authentication at all. I have two Dropbox accounts, and only one has 2FA turned on — not the other.

I haven’t received a response from Support yet, which is surprising since the account I’m having issues with is a paid one. I’d really appreciate it if someone could review this further or connect me with a higher-tier support contact who can help verify ownership and restore access.

Yes, that would be great. It's been 48 hours since I opened my ticket and haven't received a response within 24 hours despite responding back to the team promptly. I need to get this resolved ASAP. Is there a number I can call to get direct support?

Hey Shauna1316!
Phone support is only available to Dropbox teams, since it's generated through the admin console.
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
