Hey frankg4, sorry to hear about this.

 

If you have access to the email, but are not receiving the code, make sure to check your spam folder as well.

 

If it's not there, add no-reply@dropbox.com to your email contacts and try again.

 

Let me know how it goes.

    Added no-reply@dropbox.com to my contacts.  Tried to login again.  Still not 6 digit code.  Nothing in Spam or Junk mail.

      Thanks for trying frankg4!

       

      In that case, can I send you an email in order for us to have a closer look into this?
