    Without access to the email address you wouldn't be able to gain access to the Dropbox account. You need to maintain a valid email address to be able to receive password resets and one-time security code.

     

     

    Also, if the account has been idle for more than a year then it would have been deleted, along with all content, due to inactivity.
