Lost Access to email / account compromised

Lost Access to email / account compromised

lwyss
Explorer | Level 3

Hi,

 

I have another dropbox account with a different email. I lost access to the email and have reason to believe the account is compromised. I have also been logged out of all my devices, and I can't access the 6-digit codes that are being sent out either. I tried gaining access again by answering the security questions (last file uploaded, etc.) - while I remember most of them, unfortunately I was not able to answer them all. After two attempts, it tells me to reach out to a customer support email, but I am only a Basic user.

 

What can I do? I am a EU citizen, if that is relevant.

There is very little you can do without access to the email address

 

You need to contact support via www.dropbox.com/support/.

 

Make sure you are NOT LOGGED IN - even to here before you go to that URL.
