Jay, Looking at your bulleted list I reviewed the emails from Dropbox and see that on January 18, 2025, Dropbox alerted me to a new sign-on on a new web browser (Safari), asking if that was me. I do not recall if I responded to that. What follows is a succession of maybe nine emails telling me what to do with my "new" account. This is all horrifying and I wish I had been on top of this. My gmail account used to be the good one, but has since gotten cluttered up with marketing emails.
What can I do now? Please say there is something. It appears that one new account overwrote the prior account? Can you search in some database under my gmail address?
Thank you!

Was it you? Do you use Safari as your browser?

How much time passed between the new sign-in alert and the emails about your new account?

One account cannot overwrite another. If you went to sign in with the same email address and it created a new account, your previous account no longer existed at that time.
