Can't access email associated with my account
The email associated with one of my accounts was disabled. So when I try to sign in to the account and Dropbox sends a 6-digit code to that email address, I can't get it. Therefore, I can't get into my account.
Hi AnnePalmer1 & gretD, let's jump right into this!
Have you tried to contact Dropbox Support directly for this?
You can visit the Support page while you're not signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.
Let me know more!
No, it's dead.
Just dawned on me that maybe the Dropbox account in question is also dead (deleted by Dropbox). I last accessed it Nov 4, 2021. Automatically deleted?
My account sign-in uses an obsolete email address and I don't remember the password. To reset the password, Dropbox sends a message to the obsolete email which I can't retrieve. In order to change the email, I have to sign in. In order to sign in, I need the password reset which gets sent to the obsolete email. It's a vicious cycle. At this point, I just want to cancel the subscription but to do so, one has to sign in and here we go again.

Hi LS91011, how are you today?
I'm afraid that without access to the email address that's associated with the account in question, we won't be able to help much in regards to accessing the account.
However, what we can do here is I can send you an email, in order for us to see what we can do about the cancellation of the account's plan. Can I do this?
Keep me posted!
Yes, you can send an email, but not to the old address.

You can try contacting Support, but without access to the email account, it's unlikely that you can gain access to the Dropbox account. You need to maintain an active email address on your account so you can receive password resets and one-time security codes used during sign in.
To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
