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

    Let me know how that goes.

I'm trying to access my dropbox account.  I'm able to type in my user and password but it's asking for a 6 digit code that was sent to an email that doesn't exist anymore so I can't get the code.  

 

Please help.

Hey legacygt777, sorry to hear about this.

 

When you say the email address doesn't exist anymore, can you clarify if you're able to re-create it perhaps?

 

Let us know and we'll take it from there.

      Hey legacygt777, I would actually suggest that you open a private browsing/incognito window and go to this page to submit a help request directly to our support team, so they can assist you further.


      Let us know once you receive your ticket number.
