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

Thanks for the info, I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail. 

You can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your current account, and accessing this link.

From there you should be able to contact support. Make sure to enter the same email you use to login to Dropbox. Once you get a ticket ID from the automated response, please let me know the number here so I can locate it in our system!

Did you create a new ticket, or did you directly reply to the email from my colleague?

Hey @HCAhydrographics, sorry for jumping in here.

If our colleague from the support team has asked you to reply back to their email from the appropriate address, please go ahead and do that.

This will help our team access info on that account and assist you further.
