Hi! No, I don't have other devices connected to the account and the email was made with yahoo.
I was looking through the emails I received in all these years from dropbox and like 1-2 years ago they said that they deleted my account due to my innactivity, but after that email, I still got other emails saying that my memory was full and I should upgrade my plan. So my question is: is it not closed?

Hi Jay
I have a similar issue. I am trying to set up Dropbox on a second device but cannot remember password. Have requested a email to the email address that is in my profile multiple times but have not received it. It is not in my junk or spam folders and I have added Dropbox to my address book.
