You are going to need to log a ticket at www.dropbox.com/support and ask for assistance I'm afraid.

Hi. I need access to my old DROPBOX accounts that don't have active email addresses anymore. The passwords have expired

Unless you have a device already logged in to your account, that won't be possible without access to the email address associated with the account.

Please help me. I'm still logging in my account with app and desktop. But I can't remember the password that I used to have. Unfortunately, the email that I combined with this account was deleted permanently. So I can't sign in to get the link reset password. How can I reset password without email?
P.s: I've combined personal account and work account

Hi, 

I have a problem with login (email) change.

 

My old email is not working any more and I don't have an access to this account. I want to switch to new email but system requires old password I can't remember any more. To reset the password I have to use old email (not working any more). 

 

I'm logged in to Dropbox and I want to change login email and password for new ones due to safety reasons. 

 

Anyone has a clue how to solve it? 

 

Thank you in advance for any hints.

Hey @alex lang, I hope you're doing well!

I moved your post here, where other users have expressed a similar concern. 

If you don't have access to your email address, you can update both your password and email on a device you’re already signed into. 

Also, can you take a look Walter's first post? He shone some light on this.

Thank you!
