    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.

Hello, unfortunately I can’t login anymore because my e-mail was deleted (but I perfectly remember my login), so I can’t receive the 6 digit code.
My files are still in Dropbox and I really need them - So how can I get them? Please help me, thank you!

    Unfortunately, if you're being sent a one-time security code and you no longer have access to the email registered with Dropbox, there's no way to access the account without having another device already signed in to the account to receive the code.

     

     

    Your best option is to contact your mail provider and see if they can restore your email account so you can receive the one-time security code.
