Not receiving verification email, how can I verify my account?

I have not been able to receive verification email or password reset email. I've added no-reply@dropbox.com to my google contacts account. I've checked my spam folder.  I've verified my address...

Hello, when I press the button to send a verification email so I can access shared documents, the email never sends. I have added no-reply@dropbox.com, and have tried on multiple days to get the verification email to send but it just never sends, no matter how many times I try. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Hey ZacharyHarvey, thanks for posting on our Community!

     

    Do you have access to the email address linked to your Dropbox account that you need to access? If so, can you check your spam folder, to see if the email went there?

     

    Let me know how it goes.

      Hi Megan

       

      I do have access to the email linked to my Dropbox account, I also have checked my spam account and there is no email from Dropbox there.

        Hey PS24 & ZacharyHarvey - would it be OK if we reached out via email to have a further look internally?

         

        In the meantime, have you tried clearing your browser's cache or using another browser to request the verification email?
