Hi Liviuv, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just to make sure we're on the same page here: does it ask you for the 2FA code, or our 6-digit-security code?
I am afraid that without access to the email address, it'd be tough to gain access to the account itself. Do you have any old, connected devices that would help you see the files in the account?
If I were you, I'd try to contact the email service provider and see if they can reactivate the address -even temporarily- so you can receive the verification code.
Waiting for your reply!

Hi again,
When i created my account the confirmation code from email hasn't needed .
I mean that email adress was a fake one .What i ask you is acces in my dropbox account without that email name ( the invalid one).It has to be another method for verify my identity.
Hopping i will recuperate my pictures from my account
Thank you

If you don't have another device that's already connected to the Dropbox account, it wouldn't be possible to sign in without access to that email address.

Hi,
Again that dress doesn't exist because at that moment you wouldn't need to acces the mail from that adress and enter in the a link provided .

Then it won't be possible to access the Dropbox account. I'd suggest you create a new account with a valid email address.
