Please help!
Someone accessed my Dropbox account somehow and after they reset the password, they changed the email address so I can no longer reset the password. How do I access my files before...

You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. 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.

We've recently had several company dropbox accounts hacked. They login change the email to the account and we can no longer access the accounts. I'm wondering how to stop this and if it's possible for the hacker to upload a malicious file and all the computers syncing with our dropbox now have that file downloaded onto their synced machine.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To stop hacks of your Dropbox account, two-factor verification should be enabled. That makes it as good as impossible to hack you account.
Click on you Account profile > Settings > Security
