221 TopicsI chose the option to "hide my email" and now I'm unable to update it
I signed up and mistakenly created my account choosing the option to not share my email address. Dropbox created a cryptic default email ID instead, but now I'm not able to update it to my real email address because it tries to send the verification information to the default cryptic email ID, which I don't have access to this default email ID to read the verification information. Is there a way to reset my email ?Solved75Views0likes9CommentsI need to change my email but I don't have access to it
Hello, I need your help with a serious issue, and I'm unsure how to resolve it. I created my account four years ago, and about a month ago, my email was suddenly suspended without any valid reason. Now, as I attempt to update my email, I’ve realized that I don’t remember my password since I haven’t used it in a long time. The problem is that to change the email, I need to enter my current password, and to reset the password, I need access to the suspended email—leaving me stuck with no way to recover my account. Could you please advise on how I can regain access? Thank you for your time and support.Solved192Views0likes10CommentsProvide Enterprise customers the ability to convert unmanaged accounts
Currently, Dropbox Enterprise admins have no way to retroactively identify and manage unmanaged accounts that exist within their verified domain. While domain verification and invite enforcement help with new accounts, existing unmanaged accounts remain a potential security risk, as former employees or unknown accounts may still have company data stored or shared publicly in violation of data agreements. Suggested Enhancements: Provide an option in the Admin Console to export a list of unmanaged in-domain accounts for auditing and security review. Enable an admin-led account consolidation process, allowing enterprises to proactively manage or migrate content from inactive or legacy accounts. Offer an escalation path for Enterprise customers to verify domain ownership and reclaim unmanaged accounts where appropriate. For example, in our case, we have 133 unmanaged, in-domain accounts that could be storing or sharing corporate content, but we have no visibility or path to consolidation. Adding these capabilities would improve security, governance, and compliance for Enterprise teams. Would love to see this considered for a future update!28Views0likes3CommentsI can't change the email address of my Dropbox account, as it's been hacked.
The e-mail I used fod my Dropbox account was hacked and I no longer have access to it. I have tried to change the address in settings, but the system will not accept the new address. Every time I log on, Dropbox informs me that it can't access my e-mail address and I may lose my Dropbox account. I won't receive an e-mail telling me that there is an answer to this, for the above reason, so I hope I find it when there is one.Solved1.4KViews1like4CommentsMy email address is inactive and I don't know my password.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the handling of my recent support request (Ticket Number: 24753768). My experience with your customer service has been exceptionally frustrating, and I feel compelled to bring these issues to your attention in hopes of a prompt and satisfactory resolution. Last week, I contacted your support team concerning my inability to access my account due to an outdated email address. My old email is no longer in use, and I sought assistance on how to recover or delete the associated Dropbox account. During our correspondence, the support representative asked me to answer several security questions. However, before I provided my responses, I was not informed that these security questions were solely intended to suspend the one-time verification code. Moreover, the representative failed to mention that updating or changing the email address associated with my account was not possible before answering the security questions. As a result of this oversight, my account's one-time verification code has been deactivated, leaving my account security in a more compromised state than before our interaction. Since I am still unable to log in to my account, I respectfully request that you re-enable the one-time verification code. Additionally, after the support representative escalated my ticket to another department, I have not received any further communication. This lack of response is highly unprofessional and suggests a disregard for customer concerns. I would also like to address another matter that remains unresolved. In my previous emails, I inquired about your company's inactive account policy. My account has been inactive for over two years, which, according to your policy, should have led to its deletion. I have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation as to why this has not occurred. This entire experience has been exceedingly disappointing. Not only was there a failure to provide essential information upfront, but there also appears to be an attempt to evade responsibility by ignoring my follow-up communications. I expect better from a company of your stature. I urge you to take this complaint seriously and provide a clear and timely response. Specifically, I seek: Re-enable of the one-time verification code so I can regain access to my account. A detailed explanation of why critical information was withheld during my initial support interaction. Clarification regarding your inactive account policy, and why my account was not deleted after exceeding the inactivity threshold. I appreciate your prompt attention to these matters and look forward to a resolution that addresses my concerns fully.104Views0likes8CommentsMy IP addresses are different than shown in my security page
i.p. addresses on my devices are different to the list of linked devices on my account I want to check which devices I have linked to dropbox account. In my account, I tapped the ‘i’ for info next to the devices listed to get the i.p address and noted them down. I checked the ip address on all my actual devices and none of them match the ip addresses on the Dropbox list. So how do I identify the linked devices?Solved979Views0likes5CommentsNot receiving the 6-digit security code, it never arrives.
I'm trying login to my account. After password entered, pop a message "6 digit sent" to my e-mail. However, 6 digit never arrived to my mail-box. I already checked junk box, and spam folder, but none found. I even contacted the mail administrator, and he answered that no mail from dropbox. It seems that dropbox is not sending 6 digit.35Views0likes3Comments
