Account recovery without email access

[newuser2319]

Hello,

I made this secondary Dropbox account so I could post in the community for assistance.

I made a Dropbox account in high school and stored lots of old sentimental photos on it. However, my school wiped all of our emails after graduation so I no longer have access to it. I still know my Dropbox password with this email but it has expired and I’m forced to do a reset via email. There is no way for me to ever regain access to this email in order to reset my password. Is there any way I can change the email on file in order to recover these old sentimental photos?

Please help
Cole

You can only change the email address if you have access to the account. Without access to the old email, you won't be able to receive reset information for your password. Perhaps you can contact your school and ask them to temporarily re-activate your old email address.
