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.
Need help

Hi Daryl1, how are you today?
Can you also try requesting a new password reset email, using a different browser than the one you're currently using?
Thanks a bunch!

I can't delete my account because I don't remember the password.
When I try to reset password - I don't get an email.
I have access to the account - via Google Sign In
How can I delete an account?
