I can login successfully, but needs me to check 6-digit code in email.
Before immigration, login dropbox never needs me to check 6-digit code in email.
After immigration, it needs me to check 6-digit code in email. (same computer)
My email account was disabled (long time no use and I forgot the password), I can't login to my email to check the 6-digit code.
I only want to login Dropbox without check email 6-digit code, so what can I do?
Thanks

I have been reading all the posts regarding the 6 digit code sent to old, unavailable email addresses. I am now a victim to this issue and I am so ill over the chance of losing years worth of stuff. I have yet to read any solution other than "contact your old email provider." How is that possible when it is an old work email address from 10 years ago? I just was in my account yesterday and now for some reason, it is asking for a 6-digit code?????
Are you really telling people they can't gain access to their stuff? There is absolutely no work around?? If so, that is absolutely crazy to me and so unfortunate. How do I can my subscription?

If it says you need one then you cannot circumvent that I'm afraid.

How can I access my Dropbox without getting the 6 digit code ...
In most cases, you can't. If you're being sent a one-time security code or if you've forgotten your password, you need to have access to the email address on the account in order to gain access to the account. You best option would be to contact your email provider to see if they reactivate your email address.
