    Hey Leerboy 78, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    Would you mind clarifying why you can't access both your email and your Dropbox from your new phone?

     

    Do you mean that you logged in to the Dropbox app, but cannot see your files?

     

    Or are you not able to login at all?

     

    Any additional details would be really helpful.

     

    Thanks!

    So, if I understand correctly, you no longer have access to your email address, right?

     

    Can you check this article with some solutions, to see if it helps?

    Hi Leerboy 78, I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.

     

    You can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link

     

    From there you should be able to contact support. Make sure to pick an email to which you can receive and send emails from.
