544 TopicsI can't sign into my Dropbox account because I do not have access to my email
(Free plan) (I do not have access to my email and it says my password is invalid when it is not invalid because I tried to sign in last week and it was the right password. Not I cant even reset my password because I dont have access to my email.) I Need to get into my account because years and years of my childhood memories are in there and I been with Dropbox for over 10 years. Please someone help me! Google will not give me back my email account so there is no chance of recovering my email. I have tried to sign in on all the devices I know and still nothing.77Views0likes4Comments6-digit security code authentication loop on Samsung S8 browser
On Sambung S8 phone, Samsung browser, tried to log in to Dropbox free, basic account using email address & password. Two factor authentication sent me email with 6 digit authentication code. Opened gmail to get code, memorized code, then returned to Samsung browser to enter the code. When I clicked on browser, it cleared current page, returning me to log-in page to re-enter email address & password, as if cache memory had been cleared at app swapping from browser-Gmail-Browser. I cleared all cache files, background apps, tried to login again, but got the same problem. With the restarted login, the prior 6 digit code is no longer valid, so I am in a doom loop forever, and can never access dropbox through my phone while 2 Factor Authenication is on.33Views0likes1CommentI can't log in to the Dropbox app through my new Android phone
I just upgraded my Android phone and I can't access the files in the app. I have a premium account and I went through and unlinked past devices but I still can't access it. I've been logging using Google. I clicked on the email that I got that verify it was me trying to log in but I still can't access my account. No matter what I do, nothing is working. Can somebody hear help? Thank you116Views0likes4CommentsLost 2FA access and no backup codes or phone number - Am I going to lose my account of 12+ years?
Do you have access to the email linked to the account? Yes Are there any devices connected to your Dropbox account? None Question or Issue I tried to update my 2fa last year and apparently I did it wrong, now my new 2FA codes don't work for my dropbox account. I don't have any files synced with dropbox on any device so they're all in the cloud. I contacted support and was told that without 2FA, backup code or a backup phone number(I don't think I have a phone # linked to my account) that I will lose my account access. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this? I really would like to keep my dropbox account because I have files in there since my college days.Solved132Views0likes5CommentsDropbox is asking for a 6-digit code, but I don't see it in Hotmail.
This problem happened last year when I returned to the US. I lost access to Dropbox on my Macbook Air and iPhone,and I have my login email and password but Dropbox is just not forwarding the verification code to my hotmail account. Last summer, I had a similar problem and managed to get someone on the phone at Dropbox to help restore it. This is an older (not regularly used) account that I have valuable items stored in. The recovery questionnaire apparently wanted ALL the questions answered correctly. My real name is on the account. I know I can name plenty of files that are inside the Dropbox account. I have my passport and ID, and there are photos of myself in that Dropbox account (which match my ID). If I can speak again by phone with someone, I should be able to regain access. I can pay for one of the services if that is a barrier. I just really want to regain access. (I also want to finally turn off 2-step verification once and for all. I thought I'd done that last summer but here it is blocking me again. Hotmail seems to not like verification codes. This happened now because I bought a new iPhone recently and all my saved passwords failed to port over to the new phone.

Hi, I'm failing to find the data export feature that should exist under GDPR compliance. "Right to Data Portability (Art. 20): Individuals have the right to receive their personal data from a controller to transfer it to another. This applies to data provided based on consent or contract, processed by automated means." I need to export all my data so I can then proceed with account deletion. Any ideas?

Dropbox Plan Free Device iMac Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Mac Tahoe 26.3 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Greetings, As you may have seen elsewhere, I have been having problems with an account that was over the allowable memory limit. That account was 10+ year old personal account. I had added our Club Executive (7 members) to share some of the folders in the account. (We are a non-profit group of motorcycle enthusiasts.) In the end, the best advice was to eliminate all of the team members to see if the problem went away, which it didn't. At that point, I had the legacy personal account and a new account that I had created under a different email address to use with the Executive. Initial testing with the new account looked like everything was working and I could add new team members as I used to be able to do with the Legacy account. Since I wanted to separate from the Club account, from my personal account, I deleted the original legacy account with the intention of rebuilding the new account to serve the Club Executive. Unfortunately, I can no longer add or deleted members from the new account. I get a "not valid email" error when I try. I assume that it is too late to undelete the Legacy account. I see that there is a "free team account" available in Canada, but I have not been able to log on to create a team account. I am a resident of Canada (Halifax Nova Scotia). The only links that I have found are for "Free" trials. Our Club has an annual budget of less than $2500 CDN, so a paid subscription is out of the question. I am at a loss here. I appreciate the help that you and the team have provided so far, I really do!!!! I hope that you can set me straight and let me get back to getting my bike ready for Spring! Thanks Dave G Club Secretary Nova Scotia, CanadaSolved133Views0likes5CommentsI've forgotten my password and I don't have access to the email address associated with my account
