Hey Muhammad Mohsin - sorry to hear about this.
I understand that an incorrect date of birth was entered while signing up for an account or while updating your account details.
If the date of birth that was entered does not meet the minimum age requirements, the user will be considered a minor as per our terms of service and the account will then be made inaccessible and deleted.
You can see this page for more information.If this was indeed a mistake and you'd like to correct this, please let us know if it would be OK for us to reach out via email.
Thanks!

Hey gquintero, and thanks for posting on our Community!
If I get this right, you inserted the wrong date of birth while setting up your Family account, correct?
If that’s the case, I can open a ticket for you, so that we can have a closer look.
Let me know if that’s alright with you.
yes please
Hello,
I mange our family plan and was adding my son who is 14. I read the age requirements, and it is 13 in America.
Problem is, I am in Hong Kong and he goes to school in America. I presume based on my ISP, his account has been locked. Nowhere in the set up of his account did it ask for residential address.
Thanks in advance, flyingcow

What if I entered the wrong date of birth?
If you entered your date of birth incorrectly:
- Contact Dropbox support within 30 days to have your account reactivated.
- Our support team will ask you to provide proof of your date of birth.
- After your information is verified, you’ll be notified through email when your account has been reactivated.
Thank you for your help! I am a basic user, so if i am not mistaken i cant get support via email. Sadly the content you linked does not helped me, because i need to get in touch with support, but with my basic account the only way is chatbot (cant help) or community. It would be nice if i can get a direct link or email so I can prove my valid date of birth. Thank you for your help!
Hello,
While upgrading the account on the payment page, I entered the card issued date at the place of date of birth, and the account was blocked. Since the account type is basic, I don't have access to any of the services. I tried to raise a ticket with the number "Ticket #21024000," and still no progress. I use this account for work, and I can't have it blocked for any instance. I could find no direct email ID or phone number to contact Dropbox. Are there any faster means to solve this matter?

Thanks for reaching out to us, melvinkjames.
I have added your comments in the ticket you gave us and raised its priority, so a member of our team will be replying to you the soonest possible.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I entered a wrong date of birth and will be locked out of use after 2 days, and the system prompts that I need to find a support person, but! ! ! But I can't find it at all. The experience is very unfriendly. Can someone please contact and solve the problem?
- Mark
You need to have a look at https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/dropbox-family-age-requirements and contact Support.
I have read this article, but I can’t contact the support personnel. Do I need to contact the unlocker after my account is locked?Efficiency is too low, bad review~
I have the same problem? what can I do ?? no one can help me.
