Change my email address without having access to email account used to create the Dropbox account.

I changed the linked email for my free Dropbox account and cannot access my old files. How do I recover them?

You need to enter a valid email so you can receive a response from Support. When entering a ticket, make sure you enter a valid email address in the field that says Email address associated with the account. You can then enter the problem email address in the section further down for other details.

my dropbox account is associated with a now defunct email address. I can use it without problems unless I want to make changes.  I can't change to a new email address because the verification goes to an address I can no longer access - it doesn't exist.  Any ideas? TIA

Firstly download everything immediately to make sure its safe. If you accidentally get logged out your data and account is very likely lost. There is no way to change an email on an account with a defunct email. 

You can try and contact support to ask for help, but, you may be better off just setting up a new account.
