I keep seeing a pop-up message online that keeps appearing each time. Can I stop it?
For the past few days, when I log in to the web version of Dropbox.com, I get a pop-up message that says, "View files you have deleted - You can also easily restore or permanently delete them here." Even if I click the OK button, the message keeps appearing every time I log in. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Thanks!

How to use more than one Dropbox account on a single computer?
Quick question — is it possible to run two Dropbox accounts on the same computer without constantly signing out or making separate user accounts? I’m not super technical, just want personal + work available without cluttering my disk — what do people actually do?

I deleted my email, and now I have trouble accessing my Dropbox account.
Hello. Im looking for help. I cant access to my dropbox accout. I delated my gmail account long time ago. [email removed as per Community Guidelines] But my icloud account is register as the same email [email removed as per Community Guidelines], and I have access to my icloud account. Is there any chances to enter my dropbox account if I dont remember the password but my apple account is the same mail that my old delated mail???? When I try to enter by my apple ID they said that the mail is already register. Is preatty obvious that Im the owner of the account.

I open the desktop app, press the button that sends me to the web browser to connect with my account, it appears that i m logged but it always fails to connect. It appears (in spanish) "The previous session was interrupted. Try again". I reinstalled the app, changed web browser, turned my firewall off but nothing changes

I'm getting an error that my password is incorrect even though it's not
Hi! I was not able to log into my Dropbox account on my mobile browser. I am positive I typed it in correctly. I was able to change it on my PC browser but it is still saying my new password is incorrect. What should I do? Is Dropbox experiencing any issues?

Why is it ever safe to ignore unprompted one-time security code emails?
According to https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/one-time-code there are two versions of the "one time sign-in code" email. They are identical except that one of them includes a link for "I didn't try to sign in," presumably to secure the user's account via resetting one's password and such, while the other simply says "If you didn't try to sign in, don't worry. You can safely ignore this email." Neither the email nor that help page elaborate on why it's safe to ignore the email, though. If I receive an email with a security code and I haven't tried to sign in at all recently, wouldn't it always mean someone else is attempting to sign in to my account? Furthermore, because the code is only sent if you type the correct email and password, wouldn't it mean that this person has my Dropbox account password? I'd think that would always be cause for alarm, even if they weren't actually able to get into the account. So what's the difference? In what circumstances is one of those two emails sent vs the other?

Locked out of all my Dropbox accounts
Hello! I was wondering if I could get feedback/advice from you guys in the dropbox community. I was already logged into one of my dropbox accounts but decided to log out in order to log in to my other ones. When I did and tried logging back in it asked for authentication which I then tried logging into the emails behind the account but Gmail told me that they have deleted the account. I find this weird as I have tried logging into my accounts in the past and it's never asked me for authentication. This situation has happened to me before back in 2022 but when I tried logging back in the day after it let me in. These accounts have pictures that are very special to me of family including some of those that have passed, along with important documents. I really want to get back in these accounts in order to retrieve all my pictures and just move them all onto another platform since I am always having log in issues with dropbox. Any experience stories and advice is welcome as I am currently panicking. Thanks!

Can't access main Admin account for Dropbox as email no longer exists
Hi -Our main admin left the company. We had access to her dropbox but the freelance IT guy came in, changed our emails from Fasthosts to another provider and cancelled the Fasthost plans, so that email no longer exists and cant be reinstalled. We now have no access to the admin of this Dropbox account and the IT guy has full access as it looks like he's stored the passwords for when he was accessing stuff through Teamviewer - but we need that to stop immediately as other things have gone on We can access the other account linked but they don't have admin permissions, and so our IT guy has full control of this account and not us?! What can we do?? Thanks
