but I didnāt ask them for the key. You will see the help I asked for was because my iPhone was stolen and I canāt get access to my Dropbox account. Iām trying to get my Google Auth App set up again so Iām trying to add a code. I want to try to get Google Auth working to see if that will get me in to my old Dropbox account. I just set up this new Dropbox account to ask the Community for help as Iām a novice at Dropbox account issues.
Iām also going to ask you to check your audit trail to see who removed my phone number from my account. I had that as a backup. The screenshot I included in this message was preceded by a screen that said I would receive a text with a code that I could use as an alternative to getting a code from the Google Auth App. I clicked to send me this code via text message and received the error message in the attached screenshot. I believe that is when someone removed my cell phone number from my old Dropbox account. I can send you my cell phone number via a private message if that would help you. I really want the audit trail investigated. This is clearly a hack by someone. I can give you more details in a private message if that would be helpful. Thanks for your help.
