I am locked out of old account since I don't have access to the email address that's linked with it
so I no longer have access to the email that is attached to my old dropbox acc so the security code is gertting sent there and i dont know how to change the email this acc is like 10 years old i really need it
In that case, can we reach out from our end via email to investigate a bit further Padstar?

It is unlikley you will be able to regain access to the account unfortunately.
You need to contact Support via www.dropbox.com/support while not logged in - even to here, so use an incognito window.

they suggest getting intouch with my email provider to try and get into the email acc but ive tried and cant get into it the only way it can be fixed is if the email is updated through asking me security questions/ i dont know :(
