Not receiving 6 digit verification code
I have been trying to access my dropbox account for the past month and have not received any 6 digit access code emails or any password reset emails, or for that matter any emails from Dropbox. I pay...
Hey Jay,
I had previously added the no-reply@dropbox.com email to my contacts and that did not solve the problem. I was able to pull out my old computer, thankfully, and the code was being sent as a notification and not as an email. So I am in now but if I had not been able to resurrect my computer from the dead things would still be a problem!
Hi Nancy
I haven't created a support ticked as I can't log in. Previously ticket #22754874 was created. On that occasion it was a remote laptop (Team Viewer). I've tried to contact via Facebook but that isn't particularly successful other than to pass the problem to someone else. I should probably add that I responded to you via email as I couldn't log in via user and password as it directed me to the emailed 6 digit code. The only way I could log in was via Google which was also convoluted but successful. I have since contacted Telstra (Bigpond email provider and if you're not from Australia you won't understand how ineffective they are) to see if there was some reason they may be blocking the code email but the default answer is "they'll get to me in 3 to 5 days".
The issue is the lack of ability to get help when needed. That and other issues has forced me to evaluate other providers as I have clients who are relying on me.
Hope you can help

Dropbox StaffHi daylef, sorry to hear about that!
I was able to locate your previous ticket number, and it seems that our agent got back to you.
However, the ticket was closed due to inactivity, since you didn't respond back to the agent working on your case. I opened a new one for you, and I'll see you there.
Thanks a bunch!
The reason I didn't respond is that I can't log in (it always prompts me for a 6 digit code that I never receive). What I have discovered is that I can sign in through Google but that is convoluted in that I have to sign out of my default account and into this one. Then of course I have to reverse that when I'm finished.
Is there any chance of someone responding. I was told a new ticket was opened but we seem to have come to an abrupt end.

Dayle, I checked our system, and I can see that you recently replied back to our support agent. Please give them some time to review your case, and they’ll get back to you in the same email thread.
