      <description>This just happened to my boss today too. Seems DropBox won’t do anything since they used their own cell number to set it up? Absolutely useless.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1836605"&gt;@JesGagnon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; - sorry to hear about this.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In this case, I'd suggest having your boss &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/support" target="_blank"&gt;contact us&lt;/A&gt; directly as this would be the best way for them to get further assistance on this.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know if you have anything else to add or ask in the meantime.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just scrolling around and found this thread, and have noticed this flaw as well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This isn't a support case per user. There shouldn't ever be possible to create a dropbox account on a mail address you don't own. You can as it is today sign up for a dropbox account and use it without ever prove that you can read the mail account.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
