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

     

    If yes, please check their notifications as the one-time code may be there.

     

    Let me know how that goes.

Hi. The admin team member of drop box has passed away. I am trying to log in however it asks me for a verification code. I dont have access to his email account. Is there another way to access it?

    Hey MMoodley, really sorry to hear about this.

     

    Do you perhaps have access to any devices they might have had linked to their account? The 6-digit code should be sent to those as well.

     

    If not, try submitting a help request to our support team directly through this page, while not logged in to your Dropbox account (you can try from a private browsing window).
