    Paddy123, is there any chance you have any devices that are still linked to that Dropbox account (via a desktop/mobile app)? 

     

    If yes, please check their notifications as the one-time code may be there.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

After moving email to MS365 servers the address connected to a dropbox account was missed by the IT team and remained dead for almost 1 year. This accont has now been created out on MS365 but it would seem that dropbox has now stopped trying deliver to this email address, no doubt due to bounced emails, so we are unable to get password reset and 6 digit code emails from dropbox to log back into the account. How can I move forward to resolve this issue ?
