Hello,
My Dropbox account has been hacked and my email address changed so that I am now unable to access my files (but the hacker is). What can I do about this please? This is my personal information.
Thanks for your help.

You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for sign in issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
Yes, of course!
Hello! Can someone help me to regain control of my hacked Drop Box account please?

My account has been hacked and both my email and password have been changed. I can't change anything or even delete my account.
I also can't contact technical support because I have a Basic account.
Can anyone help to tell me how to get support?
