I have tried every way possible to access my account or try to get in touch with somebody to be able to access my account since the email originally used is inaccessible and the 6 digit code they send can't be used. I have the correct email and password let me in my account so I can cancel this!!!

hello,
i was trying to login to my dropbox account but it 's sending a 6-digit code on my email address to be able to continue logging in.
i no longer have access to the email address associated with my dropbox account becuase it got hacked just recently and my email service provider isn't helping at all.
if you could send me the 6-digit code to another email or a mobile number that would be a big help.
Thank you and Godbless

Hi daynolism, welcome to our Community!
The 6 digit security code is used when you access the Dropbox account from a different location for security purposes, so without access to the email linked to the Dropbox account, things might be a little tough.
We also can't send the code to a different email address, I'm afraid.
Do you have any old, connected devices that would help you see the files in the account and download them?
Keep me posted!
- daynolism2 years agoExplorer | Level 3Unfortunately i dont have other devices connected to my dropbox account. I have tried everything to recover my email but no help was given to me.
