    Hi fjcunninghamjr! I hope you’re doing great. 

     

    Have you also checked your email’s spam folder and there's no sign of the verification email there? 

     

    Also, just to clarify, have you verified your Dropbox account in the past, and you’re only having trouble while trying to set up your Dropbox Sign account? 

     

    Keep me posted.

Good Morning,

In response to Nancy. Yes, have checked the spam folder, nothing there and I believe this is the first time I was asked for 'verify email'. I think it was because it was the first time we were going from our Dropbox account to HelloSign (DropSign now) and they wanted to sure both belonged to the same person.

    Hey Frank! Thanks for the extra details. 

     

    In this case, I’d suggest opening a ticket with our support team, so that they can take a look into your account and investigate this further. 

     

    You can open a ticket with them from this page. When you’re done, please send me your ticket number and I’ll make sure it’s assigned to an agent. 

     

    Thanks.

      Good Afternoon, Thanks for your input. 

      Ticket 20276932: [Dropbox Sign FAQ] Not receiving email to verify account

      I was wondering if I can just login into Dropbox and change my email address to something more generic, like @outlook.com or gmail.com.

      Thaks again.

        Thanks for sending over your ticket number as well, Frank!

         

        I’ve been able to locate it in our system, and I can see that a member of our team has already contacted you. 

         

        I also left them an internal note, so that they can see you’ve reached out to us here.
