No access to the email address linked with my Dropbox account, so no access to security code

Hi ! I have my password and my email use for the account BUT that email adress (that i wasnt able to change in dropbox ever) got hacked a few years ago. The 2 steps verification that is now in place ask me to go IN that email to get a code. I dont have acces to it anymore. I still have my information for my dropbox just not access to get that code sent. When i contacted dropbox by email to ask what i could do about it, they said that once I connect to my dropbox account, i can remove the 2 steps verification process. My problem is, I cannot connect to my dropbox account to remove the 2 steps verification because i cant connect in the first place because of the 2 steps verification. Now i have lost all the last pictures of my father that just passed away and i cant deal with this. Please help me Dropbox

    Hey muse7717, I just wanted to let you know that I've sent you an email, so we can continue investigating this issue internally.

     

    Make sure to get back to me when you have a chance.

     

    Thanks!

      Hola, tengo el mismo problema, mi correo fue hackeado y entraban personas de diferentes partes del mundo con diferentes IP...entonces cambie el alias del correo. Ahora me pide un cogido de seguridad que envían al correo y ya no puedo recibirlo debido al cambio de alias que puedo hacer?

        ¿Le importaría si le enviara un correo electrónico para que podamos analizar esto más de cerca?

         

        ¡Déjame saber más!

        Hey muse7717, I hope you're doing well!

         

        Would you mind if I was to send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this? 

         

        Let me know more!

    Hey muse7717, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Let's jump right into this. It sounds like you're referring to our one-time security code rather than the 2FA linked with the Dropbox account. 

     

    The latter would require a phone number or special app verification.

     

    In any case, I'd like to send the case to our Specialized agents, in order for them to look into this. Can I send you an email, please?

     

    Thanks!
