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

    Hey Andrea54, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Can we send you an email, so we can take a closer look at why this is happening?

    Hello,

     

    I am also having problems receiving the verification email to my business email address which was working fine until 25 July, so I have had to use a back up personal address. I also have the problem that I am not receiving any emails from the 'no reply' dropbox email either when I request the verification email or if I share a folder to the my business address. I have definitely entered the address correctly, added the 'no reply' email to my contacts and checked the spam folder but nothing has come through. I am receiving emails from from elsewhere. Please help! Thanks, Mark

    Hey Snelvis888! Since the troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried didn’t help, I’d suggest contacting our support team next via this page. Feel free to send me your ticket number here, as well.

    I'm having a similar issue, where I'm trying to change my email but not receiving the verification email. I've been trying since yesterday, nothing in my spam folder. I can't contact the support team because of my account membership level. Is there any other way to resolve this?

    Thanks!

    Hi @shafrelk, you can get in contact with our support team directly, by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link

    From there you should be able to contact support. Make sure to pick an email to which you can receive and send emails from.

    I'm also having this issue. I've tried to send a verification email multiple times, and it hasn't shown up. My IT team has verified that emails from Dropbox aren't getting blocked.

    Hey andy40, sorry to hear that you're having this issue.

     

    Just to confirm, have you checked your spam folder and added no-reply@dropbox.com to your email contacts, to see if that helps?
