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 is correct. 

 

Please do help me sort this out

    I've done both of these options. I also wasn't notified that a folder was shared with me

    Hey nicktomk, can we actually send you an email, so we can look into this internally?

    Hi Megan,

    I have not been able to receive verification email or password reset email for my main dropbox account. I have the correct password and never turned on 2FA but still requiring a verification code to log in.

    I've added no-reply@dropbox.com to my personal yahoo contacts account.

    I've checked my spam folder. 

    I've verified my address is correct. 

    I have tried on a different browser and incognito.

     

    Please help me

    I didn't receive a security code in my email. What could be wrong? It's definitely the right email.
