My account was basic plan, I have 4 emails and I already checked all the spam and junk and couldn’t find Dropbox email that has my important files. I tried to login with Apple too turn out i have no account linked to my Apple. Is there other way I could retrieve my email address through my phone? I’ve remembered one of the files name and the folder name..

Dropbox cant search user accounts for files or folders I'm afraid.
The only other way I can think of that you may be able to work out the email is if you ever shared anything with anybody - what email address did they get the files from?
- krisnaimanda5 months agoExplorer | Level 3The problem is I forgot what email I used for registering my dropbox back then. Are there any solution for retrieving my old accounts linked on my iPhone or I lost my files forever?

Hence why I said asking people who you sent files to what email it arrived from - they should be able to see that on their emails or account
