"Two-Factor Authentication text message couldn't be sent" error when trying to sign in to my account

Hello,

I am trying to sign in to our Dropbox account and being greeted with an error that states:

"Two-Factor Authentication text message couldn't be sent"


We only have 2FA SMS setup and as a result can't access support to even submit a ticket to get it overriden? 

Any help appreciated.

    Can you try using your recovery codes instead to access your account even that way.

    You can go to http://www.dropbox.com/support to log a ticket while not logged in - even to here, therefore use an incognito window.

    Another thing to try actually, is a different browser and/or clearing cache/cookies and temp internet files.
