    Hi heartleo, the email won't be in your Dropbox account. 

     

    You need to check your email's inbox for it, can you give it a go?

    I checked again, and I can see the email on my end, and it was sent to this exact address. 

     

    In this case, heartleo, can you try to contact Dropbox Support directly for this?

     

    You can visit the Support page while you're not signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

     

    Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.

     

    Let me know more!

    Hi heartleo! I can see you’ve now replied back to Megan. She’ll review your case, and get back to you as soon as possible in the same email thread, so you don’t need to do something else on your end for now.

     

    Cheers.
