I have a 2nd account attached to a different email that I no longer have access to since I no longer work for the company. I want to cancel the subscription tied to the account but cannot login since I can't complete 2 factor authentication without access to said email account. How can I cancel my subscription if dropbox won't let me?

Hey @carrolbenj, welcome to our forum. 

 

It sounds like you’re being asked for the one-time code (instead of two factor authentication). 

 

Can you clarify if you remember the password of the Dropbox account for which you’re being billed? 

 

Are you being charged directly by Dropbox or iTunes/Google Play for this plan? 

 

Keep me in the loop, and we’ll go from there.

It is a one time code, I do have the password but can't see the code without the email. I am being charged directly through dropbox, not either of the app stores. Thank you for the response!

Hi @carrolbenj, thanks for the info. To cancel the subscription without access to the account, you can contact the support team directly.

 

You can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link, choose 'Other' and then put in an email address that you can access, followed by your billing info.

 

Once you get a ticket ID from the automated response, please let me know the number here so I can locate it in our system.

I went through the process above and submitted a ticket, but I didn't get a ticket number. I'm assuming the email account I don't have access to that is tied to the account I'm trying to cancel got the ticket number.

Swap the email addresses. Enter an email address that works at the top of the form, and further down in the Other details section list the email address associated with the account.

I did submit a ticket with the coppervale email first so their might be two tickets that look similar.
