    Paddy123, is there any chance you have any devices that are still linked to that Dropbox account (via a desktop/mobile app)? 

     

    If yes, please check their notifications as the one-time code may be there.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

Hi Guys,

 

Can someone help to know how to update my email address since there is no option available?

 

I'm just requesting to validate the one I set and I don't anymore have access to that one. I even forgot the password and there is no way to recover the account as all the available options suggested are not affordable.

 

Thanks.

Just to be clear, you've forgotten the password to your Dropbox account and no longer have access to the email registered with the account?

 

If so, then it's not possible to sign in to the account. You'll need access to the email address in order to receive the password reset information. Your best option will be to contact your email provider and see if they can reactivate your email address.
