    Paddy123, is there any chance you have any devices that are still linked to that Dropbox account (via a desktop/mobile app)? 

     

    If yes, please check their notifications as the one-time code may be there.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

Hey Agent V, unfortunately, without access to the email address associated with the account, there's not much we can do to help you regain access to the account.

 

Can you take a look at this article, to see if you can find any helpful info?

I've been through the steps in the article.  I was able to come up with the password on the account, now it sends a code to verify to the non working email.  So I assume that there must be a way to cancel the account and make sure it never renews?  

 

Thanks!!

    Thanks for your reply, Agent V.

     

    If you wish to cancel the subscription, we can help with that.

     

    Can we send you an email?

      It seems like the only option I have at this point since the security model is short sighted enough no to allow any sort of recovery solution, now I will have to lose all of the information I have stored there.  My email is [removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] This is allow me to cancel and obtain a refund for the subscription which just renewed?

        Let's see, I just sent you an email, to see if we can figure out the access issue and we'll go from there.

         

        Make sure to get back to me, when you have a chance.
