Good morning Dropbox Users,
I had lost the full access to my Dropbox account.
I lost my cell phone number; the emergency codes; and all the devices that I had connected so I couldnt sign in.
After "fighting" with many persons that work in the costumer service of Dropbox and persons, that are suppose to help here in the community, I finally got a solution and I want to share with you it.
Remember this only works if you are the real owner of the account.
Things you must have:
1 - You must have a cell phone and/or another device where you had your account connected.
2 - Contact costumer service through chat and explain the problem. Open a ticket. (you must create another account to chat ).
3 - They will sent you a link to the email of your MAIN account. Follow the instructions.
4 - Contact again costumer support using the ticket number and ask to talk with a supervisor and provide these informations:
4.1 - Email of the account.
4.2 - Full name on the account.
4.3 - DTG (Date-Time Group) of the creation of the account.
4.4 - The cell phone number associatted to your account.
4.5 - Your actual city (where are you typing right now).
4.6 - The city where you did the last successfully login into Dropbox.
4.7 - The name of a file that you have recently uploaded to Dropbox.
4.8 - The name of a folder that you have created into Dropbox.
4.9 - The name of any person with whom you share a folder, AND the name of that shared folder?
4.10 - The name of any linked computer?
4.11 - Attach a picture of the mac address of the network card that you used the last time to connect to your Dropbox. (it can be a cell phone or computer).If you give those informations correctly they will check your situation, and if all its ok, they will sent you a link (that expire soon, so pay attention to the email address that you used to chat) that allows you to reset your password.
Hope it allows to solve situations like i had before.
