Dropbox StaffHi there selbysworld - sorry to hear about this.
Can you please clarify if you have access to the email address that's associated with your Dropbox account or if it's been closed, if you can somehow regain access or re-create it to receive the code to sign into your account?
Also, are you referring to a 2FA code or one-time code perhaps?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
Hi Walter,
Its been closed. I use it as a username and I know the correct password. However, it requires a 2 step verification and it sends the code to this particular email - so I cant get it
2FA. It's an old email that is closed. Can you assist?

Hi selbysworld, with 2FA you'd need a mobile device capable of receiving text messages or running a compatible mobile authenticator app.
You wouldn't be able to receive the code using the email address of the account, therefore it's safe to assume you're referring to the one-time code.
Can I send an email to your Community-linked email address, in order for us to have a closer look into this?
Yes please - appreciated
