    Paddy123, is there any chance you have any devices that are still linked to that Dropbox account (via a desktop/mobile app)?

    Let me know how that goes.

Good morning.  I set up a DropBox with my old company's e-mail address.  Being that I left that organization, that e-mail address is no longer valid and I can no longer access this DropBox file(s).  Any suggestions here are appreciated!

    If you've forgotten your password or are being sent a one-time security code, there won't be a way to access the account without access to the email address. Your best option is to contact your former company and see if they'll restore your email account, even if it's temporary.
