Hello,
I have a strange situation, where I know the password and account for dropbox, but I can't login because it says my password is expired.
I can't access my email address linked with dropbox, because it no longer exists.
When I tried to update this old email address which is no longer available with a new one, my dropbox password expired, and it logged me out.
Is there a way beside the non working email address to remove the restriction, and be able to login with my current account and password?
This is what I get after logging in:
Thanks.

Hi Fulgultez,
I am curious to know if Dropbox helped you access your account and how? I am having the same problem as you did and was wondering how your got solved. So far Dropbox support has not been helpful at all with helping me even though I have receipts and proof that I paid for the account!

Good luck with accessing your account! So far dropbox has been unhelpful but
hopefully they will rethink their security measures since more and more people are facing this issue! Please keep me posted if they help you access your account!- MT-Tester4 years agoHelpful | Level 6Hi Simba47,
I'm already testing another similar platform. And it will take thousands of years for them to rethink their own security measures (if they want I can suggest some new security measures. Is there any feature suggestions thread?).
In the Support part I already knew that they were not useful (they seems bots).

It's not working (as expected), I don't get any notifications. Sorry, but can any real Dropbox employee help me?
