I'm not receiving the email to verify my account, any help?

For the validation of my account, I do not receive the mail from dropbox in my mailbox ... an idea?

    I've been trying to get this verification email for a few days now but it's not coming through. It's a work email and I had our IT department give me access to the quarantined folder but I don't see it there either. It's also not in my Spam/Junk. When I log in I get a red ribbon at the top of the screen that says "We can't reach you at [email address]. To make sure you don't lose access to your account, update your email"

      Hi, Please follow next three steps:

      1- Check your spam folder to make sure it didn't end up there.

      2- You can also add the email address no-reply@dropbox.com to your address book and then try sending the email again.

      3- If you're still not receiving the email, contact your email service provider to troubleshoot further.

       

      I hope this was helpful for you

      Hey Phil80, thanks for posting on our Community!

      Can you check your spam folder, to see if the email went there?

      If not, try adding no-reply@dropbox.com to your email contacts and then try to verify your email address again. 

      Let me know how it goes.
