Hi togehter, 

 

I had a Dropbox where we stored all our Family Pictures.

i wasn't aware, that my ESP deleted my login Mail Adresse for Dropbox.

 

So today, i wanted to login again and found, that i had to verify with an 6 Digit long security Code, SENT to my deleted Email adress.

 

I am a little bit desprate at the moment. what can i do?

You can try contacting Support but they typically will not do that. They'll assist in cancelling any future billing if a subscription is still active, but they have stated many times in the past that without access to the email account, they will not provide access to the Dropbox account.

 

I'm hearing now that they may be able to resolve some cases like this, so make sure you open a ticket following the steps below.

 

Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Sign-in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

Without access to the email address you won't be able to access the account. Your best option will be to contact the ESP and see if they can recreate the email account, even if it's temporary, so you can receive the one-time security code.
