I can't access my Dropbox Plus account; a one-time code is sent to my old address.

Hello,

thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. And when I click the link, I'm prompted again to enter a code, which is sent to the email address I can't access. How can I log in without the code, or is there a way to change the email associated with my account without logging in?

I'm afraid neither of these options is possible, lerakut. 

 

You didn't mention though, can you access the email address that you see here? If yes, I can send you an email there and we can look into this internally.

      Thanks, lerakut!

       

      I just sent you an email to that address, so we'll continue there.
