Not receiving my verification email on outlook
Hi,
I am currently working and it is really important to share and access files through dropbox. For some unknown reason I am not receiving my verification email. It is really important for me to get this sorted and I have tried changing my browser but no success. I cannot change me email as it is my work email and I have clients assigned to it. Hopefully this can be manually rectified and I can start using the service!

Hi Gareth,
I'm sorry to hear that you're still having this problem and I'd be happy to help!
For security purposes, I'd have to move this conversation to emails. I just sent you an email to your email address. Please follow up from there.
Thanks,
Francesco

I have the same issue and I am sure microsoft is actively blocking the email to outlook. You can add any safe sender except the one from dropbox and if I send the confirmation email to my work address, it all works fine. Shame on you microsoft!!! I am sure this is a violation of your powers (cfr google being convicted in europe for blocking adds from rivals). I hope dropbox reports this!

What do you mean write in here? That is what this is? I am really disappointed with the lack of contact details available to solve these issues. Is there a direct contact who will be able to aid with finding a solution.

Having the exact same issue. I referenced this forum in the ticket I submitted
I am not receiving any emails to my outlook account from dropbox (email verfication, file request email). I already tried adding the dropbox email to my address book -- did not help. I had to change the email on the account to my personal email in order to facilitate some file sharing I needed, but I ultimately need to be able to use my work email. I don't think it's a domain issue since i'm able to access the website, so not sure what the issue might be. I saw a forum where someone was having the exact same issue, but the discussion was taken offline so I don't know how it was resolved.
This is a big issue.
Thanks!

Hi Tegin,
Thank you for reaching out to us about this issue you are experiencing.
As I understand it, you are unable to receive correspondence to your outlook email account. You have changed the email on the account.
As it happens, Dropbox is only able to send correspondence to the email associated with the account. Therefor, if you would like to receive emails to your work email, that email will need to be associated with the account.
Attempt to change your email to the email you need to receive correspondence to. This will then enable you to verify that email. Attempt to verify the email and see if you receive corrospondance. If you are still unable, please reply to this email from the email in question so that we may verify your identity an further help you with your request.
If you have any other questions please let me know.
Regards,
Pierre
Not at all helpful. I don't think he even read my entire email. If using that email and sending the verification had worked, there wouldn't be a need for a ticket in the first place.
Hopefully resolved soon, but I echo Gareth's frustration with the customer service.

This is so frustrating... I am having exactly the same issue. I was told to follow this thread. Whats the point in following everyone who has the same problem when no one replies to sort the issue out. Why don't they just say that they don't know how to fix the issue and ill delete Drop Box and find a different way of sharing files. So unhelpful

I wonder how long we can keep this tread going!

SAME THING! NO VERIFICATION EMAIL NO MATTER WHAT!
All filters disabled, added no-reply as a contact, nothing in spam, nothing in junk, clicked on damn 're-send verification email' at least 100 times, have my outlook inbox open in another tab, waiting, AND NOTHING!!! NOTHING AT ALL!! NO VERIFICATION EMAIL!!!!
DROPBOX: If you're gonna make the entire account dependent on the verification email you make darn sure your automated verification email system works PERFECTLY!!!
SOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Hi,
Could you please check your spam folder to ensure that no-reply@dropbox.com is not blocked? Could you please also add no-reply@dropbox.com to your address book and request another email verification email?
Thanks! - Gareth W.New member | Level 1
I have tried this but no success.
