I can't receive my 6-digit security code.
Hello DROPBOX ~ I am not able to receive the 6 digit code in my email!! Upon attempting to login today, you claim you have sent a 6 digit code to my email. • I've added no-reply@dropbox.com to my ...
Well, I got in!
However, this thread did NOT help. Nor did I hear from Megan ever again.
The massive amount of TIME and READING I spent on this was incredible, simply b/c Dropbox could not, (or would not) send my email a 6 digit code. Even though I had my user name , email and password all correct. (Were they punishing me b/c the last time I logged in was December 2023?! Who knows?)
Here's what I did: I somehow navigated to the help section without logging in and just kept asking the CHAT how to contact Dropbox when I can't login. Finally, I claimed my account needed to be "reactivated" (this apparently was the key wording) and I got to a place where I could create a ticket, explaining the situation and inputting my email in the description.
I created the new ticket at 8:09AM (again after a full day of reading and "asking the community" etc etc.
I got an email message right away that they received my ticket and someone would be in touch. (Totally no problem sending me THAT email!!) They added this advice: "In the meantime, have you checked out our Help Center for FAQs, how-to articles and more?" ~ How annoying! What am I , a child?
AT 4:45PM, "Poppy" sends me an email = "My name is Poppy, and I am more than happy to assist you.
From my understanding, you are experiencing issues trying to access your Dropbox account as you are not receiving the email with the one-time code."
Poppy further explained that a separate email from login-support@dropbox.com included a "reset password link" that I should try.
Indeed, I did use that link, reset my password and got in!
Zero explanation as to why I could not get an automatic email sent to me, ...zero warning, zero info on what I've done wrong to deserve this TRUCK-LOAD of work and time just to get into my files.
SHEESH! I wish any of you better luck!
