Not receiving the verification email for my Dropbox account.

I just started a dropbox account and cannot receive the Email verification email. I have tried opening in another browser, double checking that my email was entered correctly, added the no reply dropbox email to my address book.....no luck with any of these.

    Hi Megan,

     

    Can you confirm the account type please? Was it Hotmail, Google etc as I don't appear to have received any messages.

     

    Thanks.

    Benhart78, Megan has sent you an email to the email address showing here

     

    I can see you’ve replied to her though, so she’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

    Hi Hannah .

     

    I have the same issue regarding the verification mail that doesn't come through. Can you/someone please contact me to help with this issue?

     

    Here is what I've done so far:

    I checked the spam folder

    Added a no-reply@dropbox.com contact to Outlook.

    I've checked the online outlook p;platform (thinking that the PC app may be the issue)
    I've set up two-step authentication.

     

    These are all the workarounds I've found online but to no avail. So I desperately need some help/advice.

    Thanks for letting us know, Wolbok.

     

    I just sent you an email, so we can investigate this internally.

     

    Cheers.

    roland2198, have you checked my reply to you here, by any chance? If yes, please let me know if you’ve tried all of the suggestions, but to not avail.
