You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Compromised Account: changed password and authentication method.
We have a customer account that has been compromised where the threat actor has changed the password and authentication method. The user is not able to sign in the account and does not have any reco...
We did eventually hear from the advanced support team. They have suspended the account for now (which is excellent) and are giving us the opportunity to regain access through a questionnaire where we will provide several details on the account. So...for anyone that may come across this post, just be persistent. I know it is frustrating when there is no number to call and you are told your support request will be handled in 1 to 2 business days, only to be responded to and directed to "login and change the password on the account". I opened a second ticket referencing the first, not sure if that is what escalated it or just timing. Anyhow, it does appear that Dropbox has more ability to help than initially conveyed.
The ticket # referenced was created by the impacted user. Just review the ticket and you will see. We really need this solved and so far Dropbox support is not helpful.

I am in the middle of the exact same situation. Unfortunately, I cannot delete or suspend the account as we have clients linked to the information. It's been horrendous and I cannot find anyone to help. Everyone "escalates" to the advance team. This Advanced Team could all be Oompa Loompas for all I know. Right now, they have deactivated the account and saved the information. They also sent me a list of questions to confirm my member's identity. I have gathered the information, BUT the Advanced Team, in their infinite wisdom, closed the ticket.
At this point, my frustration level is through the roof. I keep telling everyone, my situation is URGENT. At this point, my co-worker and I have spent about 20 hours trying to get this straightened out. We each charge $200 for our consultant fees, who can I send an invoice to?
