I can't access my Dropbox Plus account; a one-time code is sent to my old address.

Hello, I have the following problem. My Dropbox Plus account is linked to an email address that no longer exists because it was changed. When logging in, the code is sent to this old email address...

Hey lerakut! Welcome aboard our forum. 

 

Are there any other devices that may still be logged in to your Dropbox account? If yes, you can go ahead and check their notifications; the one-time code may have been sent there, as well. 

 

If not, can we open a ticket for you to the email address you see here? Can you access it directly? 

 

Let me know.

    Hello,

    thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. And when I click the link, I'm prompted again to enter a code, which is sent to the email address I can't access. How can I log in without the code, or is there a way to change the email associated with my account without logging in?

      I'm afraid neither of these options is possible, lerakut. 

       

      You didn't mention though, can you access the email address that you see here? If yes, I can send you an email there and we can look into this internally.
