Hey Magda77, a Dropbox account can't be created using the same email address.
Was the previous Dropbox account a paid one, by any chance? I'm asking since you mentioned the "billing page".
Also, when was the last time you saw your files when visiting your account online?

Yes it was paid account, created a long time ago, it actually could be created using different mail but no way I can remember it as well as the password??

If you have the billing info, you can always use our self-serve look-up tool in order to locate where the charge is coming from Magda77.
That could give you an insight. Let me know what you find.

It has worked as long as i used one and the same device. When login in now even with a correct password it says my code has been sent to the email no longer exist. So what do I need to do to access it without logging to the non existing mail account? Thanks for your patience with me 🙂
