As a temp measure can you use your backup codes?

 

Do you still have the number / phone?

I do not have backup code.

 

I'm still using my phone, but the problem is they do not send message to my phone (a Vietnamese location)

You were given backup codes when setting up the account - you have to tick to confirm you received them when setting up. You cannot proceed without them. Once you get back in download them immediately. If you ever lose your phone etc. and thus cannot receive texts there is no way, at all, to get around that without the codes. Your account becomes permanently lost. 

 

If you dont have them and its still not working you need to contact support. Do so via www.dropbox.com/support. Do so while not logged in (possibly via an incognito window).

Hi,

 

Hope you have a good day!

 

Whenever I try to log into my account, it shows as below even though I have never changed my phone number or anything.

Hi everyone, I’m sorry to hear you’re having this issue. 

 

@Quangkhai, have you received a ticket number from our support team? If yes, please send it over to me. 

 

@biwaien123, can you let me know from which platform are you trying to sign in to your Dropbox account, when receiving this error? Is it on www.dropbox.com or are you trying to link a new mobile/desktop device? 

 

Can you please switch browsers and let me know if you still see the same error?
