I have been using Dropbox without 2FA for years but my iPhone had to be restored and I am now not able to use Dropbox unless I use 2FA.
The problem I have with Two-factor is that I do a lot of travelling and change SIMs to local ones. This means I cannot get a text code and I also cannot scan Google since I only have one device.
Can someone tell me what I can do? Is there a way of getting it back without 2FA? I only have recipes on it for work.
I'm glad to hear that @Megabyte!
If there's anything else that I can help out with, please feel free to get back to me here anytime.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

I have created a DropBox account using a disposable mail for my department (Job), in order to share and store important files. I accidentally logged out from my laptop and now I cannot log back in because the system asks for a verification code, that is sent to my email address (which is disposable), that does not exist anymore. I have never activated 2 factor verification login by the way. I should also notice that I still have access using my browser on my phone and tablet. Is there any way to log back in on mu laptop's browser, without using the verification code?
