I'm sorry for your loss.
If you don't have access to the Dropbox folder on your father's computer, then you would need to request access to the account from Dropbox directly. Refer to the following help article.

Hi there Rich
Really appreciate you getting back to me. I did go down this route and raise a ticket some time ago but to no avail.
I will keep trying!

Hi there,
Many thanks for your response and also apologies for my delay getting back to you.See my comments in red below, any advice would be welcome!
- A photocopy of your government-issued ID - e.g. passport?
- A valid court order establishing that it was the deceased person's intent that you have access to the files in their account after the person passed away, and that Dropbox is compelled by law to provide the deceased person's files to you - How do I go about getting these items?
Kind regards

Hey sarah copland, how are you today?
Would you mind replying back to the email my colleague has sent you? You'd need to reply back to him, in order to look into this closely, and with account specific info.
Thanks a lot!
