The only way to disable two-step verification is by first logging in to your account. If you no longer have access to your email address to receive the verification code, you'll need to use your emergency backup codes to gain access to the account.

o use a backup code:

  1. Sign in to dropbox.com.
  2. Click Having trouble getting a code?
  3. Click Enter emergency backup code.
  4. Enter one of your emergency backup codes.
  5. Click Enter.

I no longer have access to the email address. When I try this step it only asks me to resend code, no option for "Having Trouble Getting a Code"

Hi @Bruff730, are you referring to a 6 digit code that the site is sending to your email directly, when you're trying to login to your account?
