Hey drluc2004, sorry to hear about this.

 

If you have access to the email, but are not receiving the code, make sure to check your spam folder as well.

Let me know how it goes.

       I've also added no-reply@dropbox.com  to my contacts, and not code received. Do you have any other solutions?

        In that case, can we send you an email, so we can investigate more closely?
