Im sorry to say this, but I don't think that will help me. I have already submitted 2 support tickets for my issue, and have not heard back for the first. Thank you anyways.
That is the only way of getting assistance I'm afraid.
It maybe that Dropbox arent able to assist. They have said this on multiple occasions - if you loose access to the email access to the account is almost certainly lost.
