Sign in issues - I can't access my email to get the security code
Hi, dropbox sends 2fa verification code to email address to which i have no access anymore. to disable 2fa i have to have access to my account, so i am running in circles. can anyone help?
Is it a 2FA code? If so use the recovery codes you got when setting it up.
If it isn't a 2FA code and its one Dropbox is just sending as confirmation its 'you' I'm afraid there is no way around this. Without access to a device already signed in or the email that account is now lost.
