Thanks for posting about this here, shjlaw!

Since we don’t have any account visibility on the forum and this is something that needs to be looked at by our specialized team, I’d suggest logging a ticket with them instead.

What you need to do is open an incognito window on your browser and, while you’re NOT signed in to ANY Dropbox account, go to this page and open your ticket.

They’ll review your request after that and go from there. Feel free to also send me your ticket number here.

Let me know if you need something else, though.
