I can't log in to other devices (or into the browser) since my password has expired and I don't have access to my email (that's linked to Dropbox) because it's blocked (it's impossible recovery it).
I'm logged in to the Dropbox app on a mobile device.
I have a security code (i hope it serves to confirm anything) and I would like to know if it is possible to send me a password reset link to another email I have.

That's your chance to regain access to the account. 😉 Use "Connect a computer" feature in settings part of your mobile application. To work, you must have verified your account already! Follow the on screen instructions and you would be able regain access to the account. Once logged in, change your email address (here, click "Edit" next to the current email) to actual one. Now you should be able reset your password. 🙂
Hope this helps.
PS: "Computer" don't have to be a real computer! You can use any device working with supported web browser - including mobile. ✌ For better security, on device which is not your property, use private browsing mode or incognito.

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I am so frustrated with Dropbox, I am definitely not continuing as their customer. They have no compassion and understanding for people, terrible customer service - I'm still waiting for a response from their support team. And on top of that, I had automatic billing set up - so now I will have to cancel my credit card just so I don't get charged again.

Right, thank you! Appreciated it. I never used mobile browser, so it won't work for me either. I'm still locked out and the ticket number is useless.
