I'm not receiving the 6-digit code to access my Dropbox on an older Dropbox account. As this is very inconvenient, I need access to files for tonight's session. This is very vital, and any support to resolve this matter promptly is greatly appreciated. Is there by chance a way to avoid the the six-digit verification code in the future?
Hey @drluc2004, sorry to hear about this.
If you have access to the email, but are not receiving the code, make sure to check your spam folder as well.
If it's not there, add no-reply@dropbox.com to your email contacts and try again.
And if it's still not arriving, try to see if you can bypass the process, by resetting your password.
Let me know how it goes.

I've tried to reset the password and I'm not getting the email to do so.
I've also added no-reply@dropbox.com to my contacts, and not code received. Do you have any other solutions?
I see, thanks for trying, @drluc2004.
In that case, can we send you an email, so we can investigate more closely?

Hi @Lilime, welcome to our Community!
Could you try adding no-reply@dropbox.com to your inbox in order to see if you can receive the email when attempting to sign in again?
Have you also tried checking the spam/junk folder of the email?
This will help me to assist further!
