    Hey HugoL, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Could you please try clearing your browser's cache or another browser and let us know if you still get the same error?

     

    Thanks so much!

Hey arrileth, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please try clearing your browser's cache or another browser and let us know if you still get the same error?

 

Also, feel free to try adding "no-reply@dropbox.com" to your email's contacts or address book and repeat these steps to reset your password.

 

Thanks so much!

No change unfortunately. No e-mail or anything. I still get sent to the "welcome back" page for logging in. Been checking my email. Tried sending password reset a couple of times, but didn't get any. I added the noreply dropbox email to my contacts too.

    Hi arrileth, is it possible that the company domain is blocking the email address from sending this message to your inbox entirely? Have you tried contacting your IT admin for help?
