Not receiving 6 digit verification code

    Hey Jay, 

    I had previously added the no-reply@dropbox.com email to my contacts and that did not solve the problem. I was able to pull out my old computer, thankfully, and the code was being sent as a notification and not as an email. So I am in now but if I had not been able to resurrect my computer from the dead things would still be a problem!

    Hi Pardhivan, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify what code you're referring to? Are you using two-step verification?

     

    Are you referring to the one-time security code sent via email?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

        Hi Pardhivan, hope you're doing well!

         

        Just to clarify, do you have access to your Dropbox email address, and the security code never arrives in your inbox/spam folder? 

         

        Or has your email address been disabled, so you don't have a way of receiving the code instead? 

         

        Let me know, and we'll take it from there.
