I think someone got the password to my Dropbox account and changed the associated password and e-mail account.  Is there anything I can do?

 

Thanks

 

edit: I see someone else had the same problem, I'll contact support.  Thanks

Hi Hannah,

 

I have the same problem. Seeing you replying to people in this thread has given me some hope... I filled out a form on the website but haven't received anything.

 

Would really appreciate it if you can help me out!

Hello. Can support please help me too? My email was taken over and I don’t have access to my old phone number.

Hey @By1170, sorry to hear that this happened.

Do you still have access to your email account, which is associated with your Dropbox, or have you lost access to that as well?

If you don't have access to your email, I'm afraid we can't really help you yet, you'll need to first regain access to that and then get back to us.

This ticket seems to be closed @Litenfiat

Would it be OK if I sent you a new one to the email address that's associated with your profile here on our Community?
