Thank you. I submitted another ticket via the link you provided. I certainly understand and appreciate the additional steps needed for authentication. The ticket number is 25294017. I am really excited to get some help. Thank you again!

Its probably worth looking as well as how you can recover it elsewhere because Dropbox often wont remove 2FA on an account. Most recently here.
If you have it set up you should be able to use the recovery codes given when setting it up to get around it.
If its actually the email confirmation to log on and not 2FA its worth checking out this page - but again, often you cannot regain access.

I went through something similar last time I purchased a new phone, but I think since my laptop was still signed in, I was able to acquire the 6 digit code through there. I swear I changed my contact info for recovering passwords and secondary devices but I must not have, as none of those emails or devices are getting any texts. However since my desktop had done a reset after an update, dropbox was logged out of, and dropbox isn't allowing me back in through my desktop either, that is asking me for a 6 digit code also, so I am literally between a rock and a hard place.
